I have thought about backup solution. Is it ok if we will have backup server not with Webhostingbuzz.com?
SPRY for ex?
I do not want to say that WHB give us bad service, but I was suggested look for other company.
Is it ok? Maybe there are somewhere direct backup solytions?

Hey,
It should not be a problem. As long as the connectivity is good.

I would recommend to get some space from someone like Gnax who provide backup space at a rate of $0.20/GB or bqinternet who can give you 1000gb for $150/mo if you want. Then you can use rsync or whatever you please to easily back it up.

If you are going to have a duplicated site for live backup, consider load balancing it as well so it can be used all the time to increase the user experience. Simple DNS load balancing is cheap to do and you'll still have a working business if one site goes down.

This can even be done with 2 VPS's at different geographic locations.
