 * First of all: Thank you for the great plugin. Works very well.
 * One feature I’m currently missing is the support of SFTP instead of FTP or FTP
   over TLS.
 * Any chance this might be added in the future?

 * Hi Daniel,
 * it might have been asked before, but I could not find it:
    are there plans to
   somehow make the archives protectable by password or encryption or something 
   like that?
 * Anyway: thank you for your effort in permanently improving this great plugin!

 * The Password encryption is not so easy it looks like. We must find the best way
   for provormence and restore to do that.
