Yes it is correct that the firmware update to for example V1.1.3.0RC3 or any other revision will clear netPI's whole file system.
Only the latest released software V1.1.3.0RC3 has the netPI internal restriction "pushing disabled" removed. I suppose you are using a softare V1.1.1.0 or V1.1.2.0. In these version pushing is disabed in netPI and the error message {"message":"Pushing has been disabled due to licensing reasons"} is generated.
This restriction was implemented during our first Docker implementations in all our "Edge/IoT Gateway" products in order not to allow a later push of loaded containers you can buy for money from the internet like for example containers from IBM. At later time we felt such a restriction is no good for developers like you which is the 99% use case. And then we removed the restriction in V1.1.3.0RC3.
I don't know whether or not you also installed SSH service into your fieldbus container extra, but if so you can login to the continer over SSH and just copy the complete folders you changed with a tool like Filezilla to you local PC disk drive and play them back after the update.
If you have started the container in network "host" mode, you can easily use the web console to install the SSH service which opens the port 22 automatically. If your container is running in "bridged" mode things are a little different. You have to make a local copy of your container on netPI as it is and then start it again with port 22 opened.
