I'd rather upload/commit files to a server to insure it is backed up 
properly...

What happens if your hard drive becomes corrupted and fails, with a 
local git?

This has happened to me so many times, hard drives have failed on me (no 
knock on wood)

But I'm not so familiar with git so wonder what happens. Don't you 
eventually have to start uploading to a server anyway, at some point? As 
you cannot trust a hard drive.
