Hello Morris,

as mentioned in the Administer Backup Files documentation page, regarding the Archive column at the far right:

Displays the name of the backup file, if it is available. Clicking on the backup file name will let you download it, directly from your browser. If it is a split archive the file name is not clickable but you will be given as much download links as the parts of your backup are. For example, you might see links labelled "Part 00", "Part 01" through "Part 09" in a split archive consisting of ten files.

Important
The only supported and guaranteed method of downloading your backup archives error-free is using FTP/SFTP in BINARY transfer mode. Anything else has the potential to CORRUPT your backup archives.

Regarding the proper way to download the files using FTP, please take a look at our Video Tutorial.
