I am planning to make use of DirectAdmin's FTP backup feature to backup my users' data to another location. However, I am concerned about security. How do I initiate the FTP backup using SFTP instead of plain FTP? Does changing the port from port 21 to port 22 means that I am using SFTP? Any advice is very much appreciated.

You might want to read this article to get the idea, how to do that.
Saw this article while searching on SFTP. Basically, I can only use a customer ftp_upload.php in order to use SFTP? There is no way to use the Admin Backup/Transfer function directly without making changes to ftp_upload.php?

You need to rewrite the script to fit your needs. SFTP commands are very simple. If you need my assistance with the issue, I can help you for a nominal fee. Send me PM if you are interested.
