Although many web hosting companies claim they do backups for you, the specifics of said backups are often not detailed.

I think it would be a bad idea to rely on your hosters to look after any data that you’d rather not lose. You definitely should keep your own copy of stuff.

After all, anything could happen. What if they go broke?

But, just say the whole place had blown up - do these kinds of data hosting places keep our data backed up in another location as well?
