Docker or native?
for data I rely on my filesystem. Both ZFS and BRTFS support atomic snapshots which need no additional storage space (i.e. copy-on-write), and you can sync those to wherever you need using rsync or whatever. As long as you sync the snapshot you are guaranteed to have a consistent state. You can however also efficiently sync the snapshots themselves to other volumes of the same type. There is e.g. buttersink (https://github.com/AmesCornish/buttersink) which allows you to incrementally sync snapshots over the network, as long as both source and target are a btrfs volume. For restore copy the most recent snapshot back to the new drive and off you go.

Going beyond raspberrypi3
For backup I use Buttersink (https://github.com/AmesCornish/buttersink seems abandoned, but still works well on Python2) to sync my snapshots to a separate disk every once in a while.

Ex-distro hoppers, which did you stick with and why?
I've thought about saving snapshots to S3, but I like the idea of being able to randomly access any single file from S3, so some sort of sync (e.g. s3cmd sync) is more attractive.
