Hi @jerdzho,
There is no partial (specific book) import/export built in outside of custom API work, and this has been requested via #3313.
For whole system level backup restore, we have some guidance here although exact steps may differ in a docker-based context, and can depend on container image used. I have a video covering backup/restore operations for a linuxserver docker-based compose setup here:

Since this was answered with no further discussion or follow up I'll go ahead and close this off.
@ItsNoted commented on GitHub (Oct 10, 2024):
A more simplified export and import would make updating with breaking changes much less intimidating. I'm surprised this hasn't been more closely examined.
@ssddanbrown commented on GitHub (Oct 10, 2024):
@ItsNoted I have developed single command export/import via the System CLI as detailed on this page but it's still in alpha/beta due to limited testing feedback.
Generally export/import would not be expected to be easier than updating via breaking changes (until needing to specifically migrate from an unsupported OS).
