is it possible to use backuppc also to make backups and get files via
ftp?
Not currently. The current architecture would make it pretty easy
to add a new Xfer type called
ftp.
That said, you could subvert the tar xfer method to do ftp without
changing the code. Since you can set $Conf{TarClientCmd} to anything
that produces a tar file output, you could point $Conf{TarClientCmd} to
a script you write that does the ftp, then uses tar write a tar archive
to stdout. This script would be just a few lines of perl. The notion
of incrementals won't work unless ftp also fetches the mtime.
I've also thought about supporting http (and maybe telnet or other
command-line protocols). You could use this for backing up the admin
pages of routers or other networking hardware. That is useful for
seeing changes and having a record of the configuration if the
box dies.
