Server operating system version

Recently, I sold a website built with WordPress (hosted on AWS Lightsail, Plesk Web admin edition). I need to transfer backup file. Not sure if this done from Backup Manager. While one backup (Oct 1) under System Notes:
Part of server backup,

others:
Part of server backup. Incremental.

You cannot use a Plesk backup, neither Plesk Migrator to migrate a website to an environment that does not offer Plesk.

Instead, there are two ways to do such a migration:
1) Manually
2) With a plugin

1) Manually
Source: Disable Wordpress caching and security plugins if present.
Source: Create a ZIP or TAR archive of the document root directory of the website and download it.
Source: Dump the SQL database that contains the Wordpress installation. It is the database that is mentioned in the wp-config.php-file of your Wordpress.
Target: Upload the archive to your new server and unzip/untar the archive so that all files and subdirectories are in the correct document root.
Target: Create a database and import your dump.
Target: Change the database access credentials in wp-config.php so that they match the new database.
Target: Route the domain to the new server, login to Wordpress and reinstall caching and security plugins.

2) With a plugin
Source: Install a suitable plugin like "Duplicator" by Snap Creek (there are several others, too) and create a Duplicator archive and installation with it. Download both.
Target: Create a database.
Target: Upload the Duplicator archive and installer to the document root directory of your new server.
Target: Run the installer through your browser.
