I prefer to encrypt my backup before sending it somewhere I don't control. Having an offsite backup implies not having control over it. "The Cloud" is just someone else's computer, and they can do with it what they want. It's not just about protecting the data from being leaked/stolen, but also to protect it from being tampered with, such as injecting unlawful material, malicious software, etc.
