IMHO, there are two levels of backup. The more common use is to undo user error - deleting the wrong thing or changing something and wanting to back out. For that, backups on the same system are the most convenient. And if its on the same system, and you have raid1, you don't need a separate physical drive.
Backing up to (or restoring from) the same drive will be slow. Especially if it's spinning disks, with seek time considerations.
