stored in a safe
Explanation:
It means that the backup is stored in a safe away from the machine- so if the place catches fire, the equipment is stolen etc they'll still have their data.

e.g. an ad for a data safe box
The Data Backup Safe will hold up to 52 CD's or DVD's (this is based on placing each CD / DVD in a clear plastic cover when secured in the Data Backup Safe). That is a massive amount of backed up data. Enough space for many years of backed up data even for a medium sized business.
