Following steps tends to be general backup steps for any Docker Desktop installation.
Assumptions
Your Docker Desktop is up & running without any issues
Your node instance is running flawlessly without any troubles inside locally operated Docker Desktop for Windows
You are not hosting your node inside any remote machine or VPS machine
Steps to backup your node identity
1. Open Docker Desktop's volume
Open following path in Windows Explorer (WinKey+E shortcut) or Run (WinKey+R shortcut):
\\wsl$\docker-desktop-data\version-pack-data\community\docker\volumes\presearch-node-storage\_data\.keys
2. Copy node's identity files
Copy identity keys (public key) id_rsa.pub and (private key) id_rsa into any other folder of your choice where you would like to store your node's identity
If you have several nodes, perhaps consider to organize files or folders so that you would be able to idenity later which node backup files are related to specific node.
