Exactly. Virtually every hosting company now offers off-site backup solutions for those who want them. At the very least, a host will provide an off-machine backup or NAS access to do a more secure and cluster/machine independent backup. There are however companies that offer these services and do well at it... but to enter the marketplace, you'd be competing against established players and need to do a lot to insure your system's reliability and security. The last thing a site needs is to be outsourcing their backup solution to someone running a "small service" that ends up crashing.
