1. Add an option to keep the following backups....

Daily for the last 5 days and weekly for the last 5 weeks

Make that the default option.

Reasoning: it's most likely that you either have a problem that occurred in the past few days or a problem that occurred a while back that you didn't notice for a while. The solution I'm proposing addresses both needs.

2. Add an option to store a copy of the each backup at ftp site.

Reasoning: sending backups to email, tends to clog up your email (and cause you to bump up against email storage limits). Lots of people are running multiple WordPress sites, especially web designers. Such people could store files for site A at site B and files for site B at site A. Then if one had a problem, you'd still have the backup (or the original) at the other.
