Hi Saad,
Are you running older version of Central? I don't see "Latest Backup" in the current version of Central. It must be related to backups to Google drive, which was remove in Central v2023.1
Today if you want to backup your data you can use Central's POST /v1/backup endpoint. You can use curl
to send the request from command line.
It will download an encrypted (optionally) zip file containing all the data. You can then restore the data via docker commands, details of that are mentioned here: https://docs.getodk.org/central-backup/#restoring-a-backup
Our recommendation is to make a full system backup. I would encourage you to see our guidelines at https://docs.getodk.org/central-backup
