Issue How do you backup domains? Ext. SFTP backup not working

New Pleskian
Hello everyone.
Hope all are safe!

I have a little problem here backing up all domains hosted on a dedicated server with Obsidian 18.0.25 to my local NAS 918+.
I do not want to use regular FTP and FTPS does not do well with the firewall of my local network, NAS being behind a PfSense 2.4.5 router.
I bought the plesk extension sftp backup and installed it. It works well but transfers are limited to 500Kb/s which is extremely slow!!
Left a message on the forum about this and someone from plesk told me it is an issue that should be resolved (extplesk-1482).

In the meantime I still need to backup these domains. So I tried to do it using sftp or rsync with command lines and it works great. But I don't know what to backup!!!
I go to /var/lib/psa/dumps/.../ and there is a truckload of files and directories there.
When I do a plesk local backup using the backup manager it creates a file called backup_info_date.xml.tar you can download onto your computer. I guess this is not enough to be restored. If I backup everything that is in the /dumps/... it takes hours as there are files in there that are very old.

So I just want to download the last local backups onto my nas. How should I do it?
Thank you for your help.
