Hi. Is it OK to use Inmotion as a place to backup the files on my personal computer, as opposed to my website? If so, is there general guidance on how to do this with home backup software?

Thanks

Hello! We generally discourage storing files unrelated to the site on your server, and doing so is explicitly prohibited by the terms of service of certain hosting plans. For long term storage of files, we'd generally recommend using something like Amazon S3, Google Drive, or something else specifically designed for file storage. These are good to have as places to store your site backups, too. Hope that helps!
