I'm not following this. I would assume you'd need to have the NFC tag attached to create and then verify a backup. If so, that would mean that the only time the device would be secure would be when you removed the tag or had the device removed from the system and stored away somewhere separate from the tag. Doesn't seem that useful when you consider you don't really need to create unique passwords for all of your files.
