 * Does anyone have a comment on how to keep these backups secure? It seems to me
   by default anyone with a link can download the backups. Correct me if I am wrong.

 * The `backup` directory and its sub directories all have index.html files inside
   them to prevent file listing. This does not make downloading your backup files
   impossible for outsiders but they need to know (or try to find) the exact second
   you created the backup file. You can use .htaccess to prevent direct access to
   the backup files. Though, if you are seriously concerned about the security of
   your backup files, you should immediately download and delete them from your 
   server once you are done with them.
