Wouldn't it be sweet to have a waterproof/fireproof safe with a little PC in it that wirelessly did your backups? It could have a UPS to shut down nicely. The only issues would be how to get data and power to it, and heat dissapation...

Yes these are now available ProtectItSafe http://www.protectitsafe.com Minimum 2 hour Fire, Full Waterproof, Crushproof and can be fitted with a Security Attachment.

These are conected to your Computer with USB Cable, install software to have an automatic Backup of your Data

I can't say I believe any of this fireproof nonsense. In a fire, a disk will get really hot. Put it in a fireproof safe and it might not burn, but I don't see how it can be kept cool enough to maintain data integrity.

I disagree with your comment "fireproof nonsense" my company has developed a true Fireproof Backup Hard Drive called ProtectItSafe, http://www.protectitsafe.com This has been tested within a fire for 2 hours averageing 720 deg C peaking at 835 Deg C. The Hard Drive peak temperature was 68 Deg C and all data was protected without using an expensive Data Recovery system.

I assure you a True Fireproof Backup system does exist and is available worldwide.
