If you want to get all files from /some/place on your server, to /home/here on your local machine, you would either do this:
cd /home/here # change directory before starting FTP
ftp server ... # connect
cd /some/place # go to desired folder on server
bi # ensure no funny business with line-endings
mget * # get all files
or you can change directory locally, within FTP like this:
ftp server ... # connect
cd /some/place # go to desired folder on server
lcd /home/here # LOCALLY change directory to where you want the files to 'land'
bi # ensure no funny business
mget * # get all files
Original Answer
I cannot understand your question at all, but you are doing some things wrong.
You cannot use GET or MGET to get a folder (directory) like you are trying to do with mget backup. You can only GET a file. Now your file may be a tar-file with more than one file in it, but it is still a file.
If you are getting tar-files and binary files, you should use BINARY mode to ensure line-end characters that may occur in binary files are not translated between Windows and Unix line-endings. So, as a matter of course, you should issue BI command before you get files.
If you have several files in your backup directory, you should probably do cd backup then bi
then mget *
