How often does DA backup your website by default? If so, how often?

I need to know because the person who provides hosting for me is currently not available, and I need a backup from a few weeks ago (I foolishly did a rare error - not backing up everything that week). Any help? What's the default setting in DA on backups? Or are there just none at all.
 
By default DA does not do backups.

Many hosting companies, especially the very cheap ones, don't do backups.

DA does offer a site backup option you can click on yourself to do your own backups.

And both system backup and reseller backup options as well, so your hosting company may have backups of your site.

You may or may not be able to get backups from weeks ago, though.

All that said, many reputable hosting companies represented on these forums do backups, so your best bet is to ask your hosting company.

Hopefully it doesn't do automatic backups, our 800MB database would takes quite some time...

I'm now wondering if we should be doing ancestral backups anyone have an opinion on the best time gaps to keep them for maybe last 4 weeks once a week?

Well we do it :)

I would love to get a way to make exceptions to backups.
