I am going to add in a check to ensure that the .htaccess file is in the backup folder. If it does not, it will appear a notice on the plugin top and instructions how to fix it.

I find a heck of a lot of WP users go installing plugins "willie nillie" without ever reading the file called "readme.txt" or the like which normally contains important (specifically security) do's and don'ts for individual plugins. It is great that you wanted to help others out for sure, but i think you will find most people are pretty carefull about the plugins they install and how they are installed. Great post!
