You can transfer the backup files between LPSM and an external device using SFTP. To transfer the files:
Generate a public SSH key on the device where you want to transfer the backup files.
In LPSM, go to Settings >> System >> Backup and Restore >> Backup Settings from the navigation bar.
Copy the public SSH key and paste it into Public Key.
Public key in Backup and Restore¶

You need to copy the public SSH key only once per LPSM.
Go back to the external device and make an SFTP connection to the LPSM server as the loginspect user.
sftp loginspect@<IP address of LPSM server>
