Were I to backup to the cloud, I would probably zip and encrypt anyway to reduce size and keep it from prying eyes. The big problem with the cloud is it takes too long, typically.
USB is the best bet if you can do it.
Any backup that can't be moved off site is of limited value so backing up to internal drives is fairly useless.
The University network would be ok if it's in a different building and your needs are small, but again I would zip and encrypt. It may also suffer from a time issue since this essentially a closer cloud.
