Copy Backup files off RPi4 image

It has been some time since i have attempted this and I have forgotten how it is done.
I used to have FileZilla setup to connect to the Pi4 that is running the Channels DVR Server image, but now when i try to use it, it errors, fails to connect. Not sure what is wrong. it popped about some key, and i said update or accept, but still wont connect.

I want to pull the server config backup files/folder from the DVR so that i can store it elsewhere incase of failure and i need to restore.

I see via the SAMBA share access, the path \IP\media\DVR\Database a bunch of folders named "backup-" and a date. It includes 2 files, recorder.db and settings.db.
Is that the full backup files location?
Can i just copy the latest of one of those folders off and be able to use that incase of need to use the sever restore function?

Would be very usefull if the server web GUI had a option to download a .zip/.rar of the server config (database/settings etc) in one easy step for backing up elsewhere. Just like my router and other devices can do.

Yea the two db files are what you need.
