Can you afford to lose 6 days worth of data? If not, get it to send backups
to another place on a daily basis. You can always add in an scp step to the
script to copy to another unix box, bearing in mind you'll need to add the
ssh key for the user on your shared host to ~/.ssh/authorized_hosts at your
destination. Or just use FTP like you mentioned.
