For anyone who is interested, you can also set up S3 tools ( http://s3tools.org/s3cmd) to securely upload these backups to Amazon S3. I can dig up an example script if you're interested.

While working with a cPanel dump is not pretty / fun, it's good to have in case something happens to your hosting provider, and they lose your account / shut down / etc. (i.e. - you can't trust them, and you need to restore to another provider from a recent backup).  NOT ALL PROVIDERS enable the backup function - BlueHost does not, for example - since it makes it easy to migrate away from them.  Check with your hosting provider to see if they allow full cPanel backups.  I run this once a week for each cPanel account, and have it FTP the files down to a storage device at my home (since it's "off-site" for my host, and they are all personal sites).

It will even clean up after itself, so you only keep the past 4 days, etc.  This one, I run nightly, and it FTPs the files to my storage device at home again.  If I need to do a restore, the worst I lose is 24 hours worth of content.

They're designed to just store a large amount of data in a very friendly way, and serve it up with several methods (local network browsing, FTP, Web Interface, etc.).
