3. Select SCP or SFTP.
*SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol): SFTP operates as a subsystem of SSH, providing a secure channel for a variety of file interactions including transfer, access, and management. It supports a wide range of commands and operations, making it versatile for complex file transfer and management tasks34.
*SCP (Secure Copy Protocol): SCP also uses SSH for secure file transfers but focuses primarily on copying files between hosts. It is straightforward and typically faster than SFTP for simple file copying tasks but lacks the extensive file management capabilities of SFTP

6. Confirm the action to delete and restore the backup.
