It must be possible to create a backup set and then relocate the drives to
a mate, neighbour or whatever and then schedule a job to maintain the data
duplication on those drives. I have been thinking about this for years and
it seems to me to solve all the problems - sync the data with another
machine sited ideally offsite but reasonably locally.

I have setup various clients that way. They rsync between their sites at
night. The initial sync was done locally, since then all has been done
over the net. Works beautifully. I for myself, rsync to one of my hosted
servers. Not ideal, as I can't get to it fast, but the important stuff I
can get back within a reasonable amount of time.
