I can't believe you actually asked that. Think, man, think. 

Here's some ways to start:

Leave it at your mum's house where you have dinner every second day
Leave it at your girlfriend's house
Leave it in a safety box at the post office/your bank
Leave it at a friend's house
Leave it in the desk drawer at work
Hang it off your keyring so it's always on your person
Mail the data to your gmail account
Upload the data to your off-site web/ftp/whatever server
Store the backups in your car boot
