I'd suggest you contact support for your backup software, this is a Firefox support forum and so we won't really be able to help you with your question.

I will add one comment: an FTP server is a place to store files "in the cloud" (on a remote server). If you do not already have a web hosting account with an FTP feature, you may want to use a different form of offsite storage. Free services like OneDrive, Google Drive, and Dropbox might be worth considering. But please check with your backup software support to learn about your options.
