Rules name a sensitive location made specific by a qualifier or by where it sits, or a spreadsheet by its full path.
Consequence. A bare "/backup" is in every scanner wordlist; "/backup-2023/" is in none. Listing it advertises the location to the readers least likely to honour the rule.
If that is not intended. Put these locations behind authentication or remove them; once they are protected, the line can stay or go. Responses behind authentication are not indexed, so they need no "noindex". Content that is public by design and only has to stay out of search wants a "noindex" without the Disallow: a crawler only sees a noindex on a page it may fetch.
Disallow: /db2sL9"db" with a qualifier
Disallow: /test-v1-page-templateL57"test" with a number
Disallow: /db2sL85"db" with a qualifier
Disallow: /db2sL142"db" with a qualifier
Notice
7 rules can never take effect
A broader rule of the same type already covers these paths.
Consequence. These lines change nothing. They are harmless, but they add length to a file that has a size limit, and they make the real policy harder to read.
If that is not intended. Remove the redundant rules, or narrow the broader rule if it is catching more than intended.

Notice
2 rules is declared more than once
The same directive and path appear repeatedly within one group.
Consequence. Duplicates have no effect on crawling, but they inflate the file toward the 500 KB limit and usually signal that the file is generated without dedup.
If that is not intended. Remove the repeats.
