Learn to do a backup yourself and how to import a backup into a new database yourself. Do this *before* you absolutely need to do it (when your site is down). The time to learn is when you have the time, not when you are in a panic. I think it's great that the OP is already looking into this.

The guys I'm using are top notch Lynne.
They have this soft restore feature, I can go in and restore a file that I have either deleted or want to roll back to an earlier version. All their complete back ups they do are also stored to a seperate server.
When I was upgrading to VB4 I completely screwed the installation and the database and they had everything restored within 15 minutes downtime. Legends to be honest. I should really look into learning how to do backups but at the moment I really have no incentive to learn unless I had to change host, which I won't be doing for some time with any luck.
