Backup centos server file directory

[Noturns]

Hiya, i would like some advice on which protocol i should use for performing a backup of important server files and folders. I do make a snapshot but i found that's not enough.

My Centos 6.6 has ProFTPD configuration setup only for webhosts so no root access.
I came across SCP, but don't know how to secure that like a Pro. I have also heard about SSHFS for linux.

If someone could guide me i would appreciate that

SCP is a secure copy tool, you use it to copy files across Linux servers. It also depends upon your backup repository, ie what transportation protocols are supported with it. Some and MOST only support FTP, in that case you only have FTP option and etc
