As for backups -- the hosting company I used had an option to backup the MySQL database onto my local computer's hard drive. From there you can do whatever you want with it. I do not recommend backing up to cloud because of lack of security.

You will find that MySQL and MSSQL are the most common options.
Are you hosting this within the local network or on the Internet?
