I guess this is one of the only options. What puzzles me how you can make a backup of a 20 TB site for example?

Just copying the files from A to B to do the backup will take a longgggggggggg time.

Cloud hosting would be a solotion, if the cloud is really robust.

Small sites you can always just make a tar/zip file and send it to another hoster/server. But doing this with 10TB+, madness!
