This is completely wrong. The affected machines are part of a private network so the risk is limited to internal attacks. Company firewalls protect both the internet and the inside users: hackers can't exploit the machines, and users can't reach the internet on restricted TCP ports. And most corporate firewalls restrict ALL traffic with http going to secured proxy servers.
A true backup solution involves taking the data our of your house. This is VERY important if you are trusting years of digital photographs to erasible electronic media.
Your best option is to backup with high capacity tape. Leave a copy a your parents house, or in a bank safety deposit box.
