This seems very useful and is exactly what I was looking for. Can it do the same for the website files/ftp?

I not only need a backup of my databases, but my web folders as well.

Feodor, you are right – if you have strong security requirements, you should go with Prof version to encrypt databases before sending to the cloud. However for many users even the Free version that sends unencrypted databases to the cloud or internal network is a far better alternative than no backups at all. In other words the risk of loosing data because of no backups is far greater than a very low-probability risk of somehow exposing data to the bad guys in the cloud.
So while your point is valid, the idea is that Free version should not be used because encryption starts from Prof can bring more harm than good.

Sorry to say, but anything below the Professional edition (priced at $69) is just for testing purposes. I would strongly discourage people from sending unencrypted uncompressed databases anywhere beyond their internal network.
