While his second advice:

2) read what other people write to you and try to understand that.

may look like something "primitive" in general, I think it was to the

A. you can easily roll your own "Streaming Onlinebackup" in any
scripting language and with exactly the ftp directory structure using
the info provided, and without needing any more skills than making
queries to database and reading a portion of file from position N to
