This is from the sentence: バックアップ媒体は遠隔地にコピーを保管する. I understand "backup medium" and "storing copies" but need help with structuring 遠隔地 into the sentence. Thank you.

Remote administration refers to any method of controlling a computer from a remote location.

Software that allows remote administration is becoming increasingly common and is often used when it is difficult or impractical to be physically near a system in order to use it, or in order to access web material that is not available in one's location, for example viewing the BBC iPlayer from outside the United Kingdom. A remote location may refer to a computer in the next room or one on the other side of the world. It may also refer to both legal and illegal (i.e. hacking) remote administration (see 0wned).

Explanation:
本社とバックアップセンター間、複数のバックアップセンター間の距離が近すぎると地震や洪水で全滅する恐れが有るので、互いにそういった被害が及ばない程度の距離を保つことが常識になっているはずです。
