it takes only a small php script to zip your files and email or FTP the file. trigger it with a cron.
no special server settings required so any host will do.

True, no doubt it is not entirely a hosts fault as one should always have their own backups. I'm just trying to make the backup process more easier, so in case someone is getting lazy and not backing things up it will still be there.

Yes the backup would be very large, most likely many gigs, although I plan to just keep the most recent backups and periodically delete any olds ones using up crucial space in gmail, which allows 7.3gb currently.
