What is A Legacy Backup in JetBackup WordPress plugin?

Legacy Backup in the JetBackup WordPress plugin refers to backups created using the older JetBackup 2.x version. These backups are in the .sgbp format and are considered outdated compared to the newer backup structure introduced in JetBackup 3.x.

When upgrading to version 3.x, these legacy backups are automatically migrated and are not available for direct restoration through the plugin. However, they remain available for download and extraction, allowing users to manually access and manage their older backup data if needed.

To access these backups, go to JetBackup > Backups in your WordPress dashboard.
