If you had a total loss of the office, and the USB memory stick backup you put in your pocket when leaving every night failed, got lost, stolen, broken (I agree not likely, but possible) then this is a pretty secure offsite disaster recovery option. It also gives you the option of being able to access your data from anywhere with an internet connection, always handy.
