* keep the backup around for only a few days before overwriting the tapes (don't wait too long to request a restore!)
* charge a hefty fee to go looking through the backup for your files or database to restore
* charge even more to do a partial file or DB restore (lots of manual work)This is because most hosts are backing up their servers primarily for the purpose of insuring against a server-wide catastrophe (e.g., a disk crash), and not for the purpose of helping customers restore bits and pieces of their sites (that's a secondary consideration, and they can make some money off it, or at least break even).

Any host with r1soft should offer the things K@ describe :)
