If you're already going to the trouble of generating backups, you might as well store at least one copy locally and at least one copy remotely, just to ensure that you always have a current backup available to you.

Paul, the update was very straightforward. I backed up the files and db on the site, deleted all the files on the site, ftp'd up the new version, browsed to install.php and that was it. By deleting all the existing files you overcome any potential issues with plugins. You can then add back in any plugins/themes you need.

It stays on a different server which protects you from hardisk problems. I prefer emailing it to a Google account. It stays on a different server which protects you from hardisk problems.
