Backups via ftp? In 2016?

I don't think Debian should be encouraging backups that don't have
integrity protection (authentication/signing), and preferably also
confidentiality protection (encryption) - if not at rest (e.g. duplicity
or obnam with a GPG key enabled), then at least in transit (anything
that uses SSH or TLS as its transport, e.g. duplicity, obnam, rdiff-backup,
rsync, or something that uses ftps:// if you must).
