On current napp-it 18.09dev I have added a new function/menu: System > Recovery
with modified replication jobs to make recovery easy. The idea behind is:

To recover a fully configured appliance from a BE (bootenvironment):

1. backup current BE: create a replication job (require 18.09dev) with current BE as source

2. reinstall OS and napp-it

3. restore BE: create a replication job with the BE as source and rpool/ROOT as target (require 18.09dev)

4. activate the restored BE and reboot

If you auto run the replication job for example once a day
you have a restorable and always up to date appliance OS backup

This BE backup/restore can be done also manually via replication and zfs send
