Of all the possible places to put a backup, that's far and away the
weakest. I strongly recommend against it.
It leaves you susceptible to simultaneous loss of the original and
backup to many of the most common dangers: hard drive crashes, severe
power glitches, nearby lightning strikes, virus attacks, even theft of
the computer.
In my view, secure backup needs to be on removable media, and not kept
in the computer. For really secure backup (needed, for example, if the
life of your business depends on your data) you should have multiple
generations of backup, and at least one of those generations should be
stored off-site.
I recommend buying an external USB drive and using that for backup.
Drives are very inexpensive these days.
