Never save your backups on the host file systems because the host does not have enough disk space for database backups.

As a best practice for disaster recovery procedures, store backups on systems that are physically and geographically separated from the system that they are designed to recover. Make sure that you have sufficient information about your backup destinations so that you can choose locations that offer the best results for capacity and data transfer rates of the backup archives.
