That's the benefit of using cheap external USB drives - it's easy to keep one out of the house, eg at work, or at a friend's house. More convenient than "cloud" storage if you have a lot of data (at least it is if you use ADSL, which has a very slow "upstream" data rate). I use two drives, and keep one at home, and one at work, swapping them weekly, so the very most I'd lose would be a week's data updates.
