I suggest to use LXD containers and so snapshot / backup / movement is as easy as moving zip files. Snapshot can even be set to auto expire - so you can setup a frequency and old ones get deleted. Inside LXD container you can install erpnext in traditional way. It does not require much extra knowledge of terminology - little setup to forward incoming port 80/443 traffic to container. Let me know if interested - I can share few links.

Hi @zerodiscount I will like to connect with you and learn more about the approach of how you use LXD Containers.
Hi @tobsowo - happy to help you when I can. By no means an expert - or a developer.
There are two LXD related blogs by Simos and Stephane Graeber that will help you a lot for setting up LXD. For ERPNext - once inside an LXD container - it is just like another installation inside any VM. Like with any containerization, benefit of LXD is that it allows you to better utilize your CPU/RAM by running multiple containers of different applications. If your use case requires multiple nodes, backups, clusters, orchestration - there is as much complexity out there as you seek! Most of us are small business owners and likely will not need it.
Anyways - post your queries on the forum - and tag/PM me as needed. Will do my best to answer/help.
Thank you. Can you share the links to the blog posts?

Hello netmantha,
I have a v12 Posdemo version and i want to shift that all data to v13. both are different servers. Can u guide how I can move V12 data of pos from server1 to V13 installed ERPNext on server2
Simple, make a private github branches from the existing site for all 3 apps (Frappe, ERPNext and your custom app, if any) and you can use that github path while installing ERPNext on the new server, and then just import the database.

If you want to move entire OS to new server then use Clonezilla network clone
