Need suggestions for backup

Can anyone help me find a host that offers Reseller hosting backup? Currently, I have a reseller account with a company, but I am afraid about my client's website backup. My current Reseller host says that they are taking backup daily into a second hard drive, but that doesn't satisfy me if something happen to the server. Is there any host that backup all the data to a remote server?

I'd never fully trust the provider's backup - provider can go bankrupt, be shut down by authorities, etc.
Can't you backup to FTP or other, generic protocol? I believe @Ympker backups to 1Fichier via FTP.
I no longer have a 1Fichier sub (switched to Koofr) but I did use 1Fichier FTP for backup. No issues and hella cheap
Most terrible solution to backup the data to the same server on the same network.
The solution would be to switch reseller web hosts
We backup our accounts remotely every day to a completely remote server on a completely different network. Having said that, you should always try to retain your own backups just in case the worst happens.
use backblaze b2 cloud storage to backup your data.
You can use my backup script with any ftp provider.

How much data are you looking to backup ?
You could rent a server from kimsurfi or soyoustart to backup to
Using a soyoustart server to backup data and another hetzner server to keep a backup of my backup lol. Another recommendation would be for liteserver backup vps.
buy a storage vps from inceptionhosting and install ftp server
You should always have a minimum of 2 backups. One can be local or local network (or provider offered backup), second should be off-site. Off-site I recommend b2/backblaze. There's a crapton off scripts you can use to backup to b2. You can backup to your local or network storage, then push that on a schedule to b2.
If you are using CPanel then I would recommend whmeasybackup.com
It works just fine.

Backup on personal computers or servers is always important to prevent permanent data loss. Therefore getting to know different backup tools is very important especially for System Administrators who work with large amounts of enterprise-level data and even on personal computers.

The primary backup features are:
• Compression
• 256-bit AES Encryption
• Scheduled backup
• Incremental backup
• Command-line interface
• Retention policy and more.
