Hi!
If you're using docker-compose to setup the project:

services:
  bytestash:
    image: "ghcr.io/jordan-dalby/bytestash:latest"
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - /your/snippet/path:/data/snippets
    ports:
      - "5000:5000"
    environment:
      # See https://github.com/jordan-dalby/ByteStash/wiki/FAQ#environment-variables
      JWT_SECRET: your-secret
      TOKEN_EXPIRY: 24h
      ALLOW_NEW_ACCOUNTS: "true"

Under the volumes section, change /your/snippet/path to an actual location on your system, e.g.

  volumes:
    - "C:/Users/myuser/bytestash/snippets:/data/snippets"

Make sure to only edit the left-hand side.
Then docker-compose -f mydockerfile.yaml up to start the container.

You can find your database in C:/Users/myuser/bytestash/snippets (given my example above), copy all files in there to make a full backup.
