I'm a little bit confused about the backup service, looking at the page it seems like it suggests I can use rsync.

http://www.eukhost.com/backup.php

Features:
» Automated Daily, Weekly & Monthly backup using rsync.
However, I wasn't able to connect via rsync from my VPS Hosting and raised a ticket: #AIU-83296-938

This was the response back:

Well, rsync needs SSH access for both the source & destination server. With the backup package there is no ssh access & we
only provide ftp access. You will not be able to rsync your backup account from your VPS Hosting.
To put it into context, I tried rsync over normal rsync protocol and over ssh. You can't rsync over ftp, so I'm not sure how I'll be able to use rsync at all.

Somethings not quite right...
