Good point.  Likely depends on size of backups whether they care or
not.  I imagine it comes down to fact bandwidth, disk space and CPU
cycles all cost money.  We own our own server we use for this and rent
the colocation space it sits in.  Our backups are not very big after
being compressed either.  Good idea to check TOS though.
