Usually all webhosting service provider will offer you backup space on their remote server where you can upload backup copies of your webfiles, databases. If  you are connecting your server backup using some custom software or script then there can be a risk for using such custom applications as if your local machine gets compromised then hacker can easily login to your remote backup space and can delete all your data through this custom software. Thus its always recommended to go with a host who don’t use any such custom application for allowing users to login to your backup space rather go with a webhost who would initiates data transfer from their remote backup servers (using scp scripts or RSYNC over SSH) – thus your server doesn’t have a direct access to backup data directory. This will avoid any backup data loss as if you are using any custom application software for connecting to your backup server and your local machine gets hacked then hacker can easily login to your remote backup server and can delete all data from your server. Its better to check with your webhost about what kind of connection do they offer you for connecting with your remote server. Don’t go with any host who is offering you some script or software for getting connected with your backup server so as to ensure security.
