The easiest possibility is to make an SD card hard copy. This requires to opne netPI with its 4 screws, removing the SD card temporarily and makeing a copy with a tool like Win32DiskImager. The OS running on netPI does not include any backup/restore capability of the whole SD card ... so the hard copy is the only possibility I see.
One addiitiional remark: I feel the OS part is in my eyes not really worth it to make a backup from since ALL informations/knowledge are in the application container, or? So if you use the Docker Web UI of netPI and use the "save" container option of a stopped container then the whole container as it is is saved to a file exported over your web browser session that you can store outside netPI. Later you can deploy and run this container image again and you will have a 100% copy of it running as before. In case you have multiple containers you have to save them one after the other.
