Akeeba Backup version: 3.6.2

I have contacted my hosting company and they advise me not to upgrade my php version. This is what they say.
Hi,
If you want us to update it we can however at this time it is HIGHLY recommended that you don't. PHP 5.3 is not downward compatible meaning any sites you have using PHP 5.2 will not work on 5.3. It's not a security concern at this point at all however in about 6-8 months we may upgrade it once PHP 5.3 is backwards compatible.
Thanks

I have tried to remedy the situation according to the instructions shown on the big yellow warning. I've changed the permissions, entered my correct FTP contact info into the Global Configuration, but Joomla will not let me enable FTP.
I'm very concerned that PHP 5.3 is not backwards compatible and I am afraid changing my php will screw up my other website accounts (of which I have many).
Is there a solution or do I need to downgrade to the previous version of Backup?
Thanks,
Doug
