What's your plan for restoring data? Many home/small-office internet connections have a much slower upload speed than download speed, so restoring data could easily take 8 times as long as backing it up. On the other hand, a connection at a university or other large entity is going to be just as fast either way. That's not to say it's not worth doing the backup as you describe - I think it is - but it'd be good to know if there's a significant upload speed limitation.
