Use it to back up the blockchain then Cheesy

The blockchain is already backed up. Everyone with a full node client has the whole thing. That's like a torrent with 10,000 seeders and 100,000 leechers. Just keep one copy for your local use, and if you lose it, just download the whole thing. No need to make multiple copies of the blockchain.

Multiple copies of the wallet is recommended though. Or at least the private keys printed on paper.

Where's the option for an offline Armory wallet on a disconnected laptop?

That would be a combination of any of the following:

In my personal wallet on my computer (with offline Armory)
On a usb drive in a safety deposit box (the transaction)
On a usb drive stored safely in my house (the transaction)
On a usb drive stored somewhere else (the transaction)

But the poll makes it hard to decide which one, ... I think the equivalent would be where your offline Armory wallet is located. Some people have those in a safety deposit box or somewhere else. (in the office or another building.)
