You are not required to use your hosting company's backup services.
For example, my hosting company can provide VPS backups, yet all of my
VPS platforms -- and physical platforms -- are backed up using Tarsnap,
a third party commercial service with open source client software.
I strongly recommend MWL's Tarsnap Mastery, a book which
totally transformed my thinking about how my data is managed for
both recovery and continuity. The service is operationally different from
classic filesystem backup or archive solutions.
