The trivial answer that can be read (almost) everywhere: in a safe place. But, that's not as trivial as it reads. While you can - during creation - have the backup archive on a local disk / partition, you should then move it to a reliable, safe medium which won't lose the data within the next years and store that off site. Make sure it can be read and restored. Nowadays the net is a viable alternative if the data volume is not too high, availability is given, and exposure is low.
