Anyway, I'm just saying there are a lot of reasons why one might want local backups. They might not be good reasons, but they're still reasons. :D

I'm one of those people
I have nightly backups to my computer every day. About once a month I will backup a few of those to a CD and put it in my fireproof safe.
Most people should be able to backup through their control panel though like me, to a home FTP server. This cost nothing to do.
