Ah ok. Could we schedule an automated off-site backup every 24h at 2am or something? Just automate what we're already doing manually, with a bash script or something?

Yep sure we could use rsync or a similar tool to push backups to another server over SSH. We just need the other server. Also I think there's very little risk that our hosting provider would delete our data on purpose. Even if they refuse our business they won't delete, that'd open them up to a lawsuit.

Okay, cool. Maybe we could do our normal backup and I could also use the saiditdev server as a secondary backup. I just want to be prepared for the worst, in case there's legal trouble and our server company is forced to lock our data or something like that.

Yeah that'd work
