From within the managed DNS service you set dns zones and all that good stuff, dnsmadeeasy has a pretty good help guide to walk you through everything. This is really about having a separate, fully functional backup site ready to go when your host has problems though. When I think of "offsite backup," I'm usually thinking a backup to a remote machine that isn't necessarily a web server. LiquidWeb gives me offsite backups that are pretty good, but it's just a backup, not a live web server.
