Here is How to Upload Backup to Dropbox from Cloud Server in Case You Want To Keep Your Backup of Files and Database on a Free Cloud Storage. Many have a Shylock like attitude for billing. Specially for the Indian Citizens, it can happen that ICICI bank is delaying to update the Payment to credit card or you have crossed the maximum limit of Foreign Exchange set by Reserve Bank of India. Practically they will threat the customer in legally polite way regardless how many years you have been their loyal customer. Obviously, if you are not paying for past one month or two months, that is not right. We are talking about 5-10 days failure or delay.
Now all your private data, websites are on the host. As a human, some minimum hours will be required to ask some friend to login and pay for you. You have to take your data out first in cool head. Hostgator is worser, they will not listen to anything and simply serve their spammy web pages, it is agreeable as Hostgator’s shared server with $5 / mo bill can fly away. This is the typical situation where you will require a free Cloud Storage option. Dropbox is sort of best option. You should take file level backup first, then backup of server image. If you can not arrange a friend, ultimately you can not anything if they stop access to the Cloud Account.

Ideally you should download the backup on local computer, but how many GBs of data you actually can download everyday for a dynamic website?
