Not really. On servers which don't support direct copy (FXP?) and which
only support one connection at a time, I think we're screwed anyway
(I see no "copy" command in the FTP RFCs). The whole idea of doing proper
backups over FTP seems difficult.

The only thing I can suggest is "if protocol==ftp, upload the backup file \
(like in the old code) instead of doing the server-side copy". But this \
looks ugly in the code of course.
