Yup, the same way I do it now.

The host for me is an an ephemerial dumb host - I remove everything that I can, and pretty much only have docker running.

All the apps are a docker image - mostly a reverse proxy, a php server, postfix, postgesql etc....

The docker apps, I built in my devops at home - so I can reproduce all applications easily. Thus, the (remote) backup I need is just the data and configuration - with databases being a dump each night, and a filesystem backup which captures configurations (config rarely changes) and any file level data...

My go to tool is restic, I've been using it for years, which stores all my backups in my s3 server at home.

Rebuilding a failed server would be a PITA, but its essentially install a new host, add docker, a file restore, a docker run and a db restore ...
