I know i can mount over ssh/sftp/sshfs using FUSE, but can the same work with FTP/FTPS?

the aim is to mount a FTPS server to e.g. /databackup

I cant use SSH/SFTP/SSHFS as the host of the other server does not support those methods

You can use curlftpfs. See the examples in the page.

  • Unfortunately, `curlftpfs` does not mount files and folders with the right time stamp. They are randomly shifted between 0 and 24 hours, which for synchronizing is a sheer disaster. In addition, visiting file trees in curlftpfs can be slower than other mounting methods, such as simply using the file manager, e.g., *Nautilus* – loved.by.Jesus Apr 07 '22 at 21:45

I have always liked using lftp with the mirror option. It sounds like it might work pretty good for you based on the /databackup example. There is a brief example given here under the section called Backup To Remote Server, rsync Without Passwords. (Regardless of the heading it does talk about lftp usage)
