Neal-GhoshalQ: Hi there, I know this may have been covered before, but just want to confirm.
I could use this in combination with Updraft Plus. Updraft would create the backup in a folder on the website hosting server.
Then BackUpSheep could pull ftp that folder and it's backup contents to BackUpSheep's own storage.
Is that right?
With multiple websites hosted in multiple places, I can back up all these websites in the same way, onto different folders (is that what is meant by nodes?) on BackUpSheep's storage?
And I can set it up so the retention is only so many backups? Or files? So that I don't have to manually delete files to make sure I don't use up the 1TB space?
Is this how the Wordpress plugin works?
Thanks for any answers.

WordPress plugin works fine in most cases but in cases where there's limited memory and CPU available on shared hosting then it can cause problems.
Soon we will give you access to your storage buckets and you will be able to push backups to BackupSheep storage using any tool/plugin that supports S3 storage.
A node is just a group of files or a group of tables/databases. Yes, they are stored in different folders.
Yes, you can setup a retention policy for sure.
I was on the fence about getting the double. But, if I understand correctly, you plan to provide access to our bucket so that we can use BackupSheep storage directly?
If so, this will get me off the fence!
Thanks!
Yes, that's correct. We deployed our S3 storage cluster last month https://feedback.backupsheep.com/updates/new-storage-cluster-storage-buckets
