The biggest problem is if you want to do this from a remote pc, that pc will need access to the server itself and the mysql client tools. It sounds as if this pc is not on your LAN and I doubt the hosting service will be willing to expose there database to the internet so you can do a backup. If you do have access to the db from your computer you should be able to schedule something as simple as: mysqldum -u <user> -p<pass> -h <host> <database> > <file> to do your backup. Other then that I'm not sure how you could do this since you already stated your service wont schedule cron jobs.
