You need to export it in the SCP (under Media).
There you also have additional information on how to download it.
Previosly it was copied to a (S)FTP server, but this no longer has to be the case, since they introduced an object storage (S3) there.

I downloaded it in the format name.raw.zst. However, when I extract it to the name.raw file, its size is very large, making it impossible to upload. How can I use the name.raw format while keeping the file size small?

The extracted name.raw.zst will have the almost the same size as the harddrive of your VPS.
To reduce the size you need to convert it into a different format which allows to reduce the image size by freeing up not used parts.

Yes, but most of the filesize should be zeroes. You can try a upload with the sparsed parameter, or use the qemu-img toolset (available for Linux, Windows etc.) to convert it into a qcow2 image, which would be much smaller.

Ah! good details. do you recommend a link that has described that into steps? so we can have a recovery drill. i have the snapshot in my backup vps but i have never used it.
