unless your version control stores your data somewhere other than on your computer, it's a poor substitute for a backup.
there are lots of things that can happen to your computer (including your house burning down) that will destroy everything on it.
no matter how much protection you put into your storage system, you still need backups.

Local backups suffer from the same problem as local version control.
Thus, locality is unrelated to whether your are using backups or version control. Yes, it is better to put it on another computer, or, at least another physical device. But, this is in no way an argument for using backups instead of version control.
