How can I create a backup of my Oracle Server?

Hello! I created a Server using Todd Sharp´s guide. I have read that Oracle can delete the server and that I can restore it by creating a backup. How can I do it? Thanks a lot! And sorry if this is the wrong channel.

Connect using sftp and copy your server files to your house.

Looking into SFTP connections, I can connect to my server, but I cannot (or know) look into the archives. I do not know the directory and the correct url to download the data. Are any other way to see the data?

The folder that you setup the server in is the folder you'll bring back to your house.

On your oracle server, how did you setup your server and where e.g. if your server is in the user's home dir (e.g. /home/ubuntu), then the folder you want to backup is the ubuntu folder if it was /home/ubuntu/my_server then you would want to download the my_server folder

The problem here is that I do not know here it is installed, I am reading about locating the files and the folder

This is the guide that I followed. As you see, I installed Minecraft in a Virtual Machine that I access by Putty: https://blogs.oracle.com/developers/post/how-to-set-up-and-run-a-really-powerful-free-minecraft-server-in-the-cloud Maybe installing something like FileZille will allow me to see the files and folders?
