It is not FTP, it is the same backup as Native but using operating system tools
The Native backup creates the .zip using PHP which can't handle that size of documents. The External backup calls the operating system mysqldump and zip commands, so the operation is done by the operating system, not PHP, which permits reaching much higher volumes of data at the expense of having those tools available in the operating system (which is very common).
The FTP option comes after the .zip has been created, one way or another.
