Host-provided backups are a billing line item, not a recovery plan
Your host's nightly backup lives in their infrastructure, controlled by their panel, restorable on their schedule. The day your account gets suspended, hacked, or billed-to-death, that backup is locked behind the same door as your dead site.
— Host backup: convenient, vendor-locked, shares your fate
— Independent offsite: yours, portable, survives the account
If one suspended invoice can take your data hostage, that was never a backup. Fight me in the comments.
