Why isn't your offsite backup encrypted too? Yes, if your data is corrupted, and your backups are corrupted, then you lose your data. That's the case regardless of whether or not you're using encryption. I use FDE on my laptop. My backups are also encrypted. I use duplicity which basically tars up the files and then encrypts using GnuPG. It only tars up the changes between each run, so I have incremental backups, and version history of every single file on my system.
