More like you can back up a specified fraction of what you provide.  A scheme like this requires extra redundancy to make up for potential downtime of some nodes at any given moment.  It also could use pre-transmission encryption so that the people holding backups could honestly say they don't have the decryption keys. 


[Linguistic nit-pick:  When used as a phrasal verb, "back up" is two words, but when used as a noun or adjective, "backup" is one word.  You "back up" data, producing a "backup copy", or simply a "backup".]

Or better a public distributed off-site backup, where you can backup as much as you provide.
