I always recommend having a local backup. The main reason for having an offsite backup is usually not for the reason of instant restore, but more for incase of a disaster/emergency. If you have a fire in your house, a flood. If you if you want access the data remotely, you can do so from the cloud. If you are just backed up in your house/datacenter. If something happens to that location. You are still in trouble. I always recommend both onsite and offsite. That is, if you take your business seriously
. If you mean a server in another location. That is also a good idea. but if you have anything more then a 99 dollar server. Offsite backup will cost less.
