If you are doing local backups make sure you figure in the speed of your home ISP's upload. Also make sure you are getting a reasonably high per thread speed with your host. Some throttle single threads to 50K - 100K and that will be very slow. If you have hundreds of gigs it might take you WEEKS to upload all that data to a new host.
It might be a good idea to have backup space remotely but with a separate company who has a very fast connection.
