How To Offsite Backup The Backups?

I backup my WHSv1 to an internal HDD which I then remove and take off site. However, after backing up the server, I'm noticing only enough space was used to backup the shared folders (142GB used on the backup HDD). It does not seem to back up all the pc backups that are on the server (an additional 428GB). This seems like an obvious need so that if your house burns all the data from the individual PCs aren't lost. However, I can find no mention of this in the documentation or settings or options on the server. And yet, in the documentation about backing up the WHS, at the end it states this...

 

To create free space, from the Computers & Backup tab, select your home server, click View Backups, and then delete your previous backups. It may take a few minutes to completely delete the backups.

 

How does that free up space if those PC backups aren't backed up in during a WHS backup? Trying to search/Google for "WHSv1 backup the backups" isn't fruitful, as one might imagine. Does this feature just not exist or am I doing something wrong?
