Time Machine -- or CCC or SuperDuper, or any software like that -- only
makes a backup in your home. It's up to  you to take that hard disk to a
friend's house or to your safe deposit box, etc., so that it's not
destroyed, damaged, or otherwise compromised in case of fire, flood,
robbery, earthquake, tornado, hurricane, or explosion, etc.

A service like Mozy is already off-site, which is a big bonus over the
backups you do at home.
