Rick's Response: The combination of WinBackup and WebDrive that I've been experimenting with is running through FTP... WinBackup offers up to 256 bit AES Encryption, but WebDrive, which is connecting to my FTP Server is not securing passwords? So the data is encrypted, but the passwords are not and open to be stolen? You can tell, probably, that I'm in way over my head with this stuff...

What exactly are the requirements? File encryption? Transfer encryption? Full backups? Incremental backups? Differential backups? Bandwidth use? Automation level?

FTP uses plain text transfers including plain text passwords. People make backups of data because that data is valuable and that usually means they don't want prying eyes.
