Just a piece of advice... just because you or your host think you have a backup plan in place... be sure to periodically test the backups to make sure they actually work. You'd be surprised how often someone thinks they have a backup in place only to find out the backup itself is corrupted or failed a scheduled backup, etc.
It's also a good idea to have a full image done, and then with subsequent incremental backups over a few days or a week, then these can be verified and merged with the full backup. In this way, you can roll back to any day you like, restore a file you deleted 3 days ago, or do a bare metal restore from the last verified full image. Of course, it's obviously also a good idea to ensure that your backup solution is a different building.
Contrary to what some folks believe, RAID is not a backup solution.
You'll never miss a backup until you actually need it. Then it's too late.
