I certainly don't have a problem with this. I do this for all of my servers (many gigs, at least once daily), and I'm sure AIS does this for a number of servers around campus. Having data in two separate physical locations is definitely a step in the right direction. Of course, an off-site backup is better, but two buildings on campus is a big +++.
