You can also choose more than one location i.e. backup your backups with UpdraftPlus Premium.

If you choose no remote storage, then the backups remain on the web-server. This is not recommended (unless you plan to manually copy them to your computer), as losing the web-server would mean losing both your website and the backups in one event.
