How to use the ftp backup feature?
First of all, you can enable the ftp backup feature in the config.yml. Just search for 'Ftp' in the config and set 'UploadBackup' to 'true'. You have now enabled the ftp feature, but to really use it you need to enter your ftp server details (ip, port, user, password). I recommend to create an extra user for your backups.
If you don't have a ftp server but a vps / virtual server / root server / dedicated server / ... you must set up a extra ftp server on it, because sftp (port 22) does not work at the moment. There are many tutorials on the internet for setting up an ftp server, so please use them as a guide if you need it.

The ftp backup feature is great for redundancy and security of your backups, because in case of a server failure you still have your backups on the ftp server (for that the ftp server must run on another server, otherwise it wouldn't make any sense).

If you wish to store your backups only on the ftp server you must set the config option 'DeleteLocalBackup' to 'true'. This will automatically delete the backup on your minecraft server once the backup has been uploaded to your ftp server (this is pretty secure, because the plugin double checks if the backup is already existent on the ftp server). In case you need a backup, you can download it at any time by just using the command "/backup ftp download <backup-file>".
