For small sites, static content, and the like, this is not a terrible
strategy.  For anything even remotely private or sensitive, a company
or organization would be bordering on gross negligence to have a
computer at someone's house as their primary backup solution.  Nothing
personal, but I wouldn't want to be the one to deal with the fallout
after your house gets broken into and those computers go missing (e.g.
now it's breach notification time akin to all those "lost laptop"
stories you hear in the news).  This can be mitigated somewhat by
using strong encryption during transport and while the data is stored,
though I would not want that responsibility even for a small company.
Online backup tools like Carbonite, JungleDisk, and Tomahawk Backup
(which can back up data, encrypted, to the "cloud" as well as a local
disk at the same time) are so easy to use and inexpensive that it
makes me wonder why more people don't use them.
