More or less every hosting company claims they execute daily backups!
Backing up is a cost; backing up is taxing to server, and can show performance impact.
Server could be up and running for months or years, without anyone knowing whether daily/weekly backups are “really” being executed or not.
One can assume backups are being executed, but one will know only when it is requested/needed.
Can you please share names of the hosting companies [small, big, retail] who passed your test in providing “reliable” backups when needed or asked?
