Description
### Impacted plugin
Backup
### What
It would be better to describe whether the active theme would be restored or not clearly
### How
When you try to restore the Backup, it would be better to add the new item to display whether the active theme would be kept or not.

It looks like the active theme would be kept if the “WordPress themes” item was checked. However, the active theme is stored in the database so you have to uncheck "Site database" to keep your active theme.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the Backup restore flow and inspect how the checked “WordPress themes” and “Site database” items are presented. Confirm the active theme’s database dependency, then make the restore options clearly state whether the active theme will be kept. Verify the resulting wording in the restore UI.
