What's the closest web-safe font to Roboto?

I need to know this in order to provide a decent alternative to Roboto for my apps.

UPDATE: reading the answers, it's clear that the concept of web safe needs to be clarify.
Actually I'm referring to the webdev concept of web safe: www.w3schools.com/csSref/css_websafe_fonts.asp
which includes the following:

Georgia, serif
"Palatino Linotype", "Book Antiqua", Palatino
"Times New Roman", Times
Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif
"Arial Black", Gadget
"Comic Sans MS", cursive
Impact, Charcoal
"Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Grande"
Tahoma, Geneva
"Trebuchet MS", Helvetica
Verdana, Geneva
"Courier New", Courier, monospace
"Lucida Console", Monaco

The "web-safe" is a little arcaic concept.

It is more likely that your site dissapear before google support to the fonts it has listed. So any alternative to other "google fonts" has no sense.

If you want to complement your style use:

font-family: "Roboto", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

Roboto web safe as it is a google font but if by some reason you want to pull away from Roboto, Open Sans or Droid are good matching fonts.
