If you save the backup files on your local hard drive, there are more chances that the backup will be damage by some virus, the chances for damage are smaller if you store it on external disk and even smaller if you store it on another internet server. All you need is a secure server with fast FTP access, enough storage space and bandwidth for uploading and downloading and you good to go.
