Heya,
Assuming that your source-code was deployed from a GitHub/GitLab repository you can download the files from GitHub/GitLab by cloning the repository on your local machine.
If you need to backup your App Platform’s data, consider using Managed Database or Spaces to store your data, then you can easily download your data from those services.
