I would guess that what he meant is not that internal drives fail more frequently, but that part of the idea of a backup is having a copy even if your computer is stolen or bursts into flames. Archival backups are generally made to external devices -- and if you're really serious, you store them not just in a different part of the room, but actually off-site somewhere in case your house burns down. This is different from backing up just to have a second copy in case your hard drive fails or in case you delete something by accident.
