I'm fairly certain it has also.

I'm sure if you search the archives you'll find where it was suggested using
a Cron to nightly tar up files and then FTP them to another location. Some
people even mentioned getting a few hundred MB of space at another ISP for a
cheap monthly price and having it FTP itself over. IIRC, using the proper
Perl Modules, the server can do all this no problem.
