Depends on the type of backup and the retention time.

If it's just a regular backup, external hard drive or even USB flash drive would be just fine. Even if the device fails, you'd still have all the files on your computer and you can just get a new one to replace it.

The only danger is if both the hard drive in your computer and the external hard drive/USB flash drive die at the same time... but what are the chances of that?
