Last night, I tried to play Heroes VI, only to find that Uplay was down. I was offered an "offline" mode, but upon running the game in "offline" mode, I found that none of my previous saves were available – I'd have to start from the very beginning, the tutorial campaign, all over again.
Needless to say, I'd rather not have my save games exist only at the whims of Ubisoft's DRM. Is there any way I can store my save games locally so that they're available in offline mode?

Nope, sorry. I've run into this myself and you can't get the saved games from the Ubisoft servers, you will have to start anew with the campaign in offline mode to not depend on their servers which right now may be lacking stability.
They are very well known for this DRM, see Assassins Creed 2, which unfortunately didn't offer an offline mode like HOMM 6.
