Sling stores its data in a Jackrabbit repository (a JCR[1] implementation).
The JCR spec covers content exporting and importing in the paragraphs 6.4,
6.5 and 7.3. I strongly advise you to take a look in those topics, if you
haven't done yet.
In summary, you can export your content to XML using the method
'exportSystemView' [2] and import it back using the method 'importXML' [3],
both belonging to the javax.jcr.Session class.
Another option is to persist your repository in a RDBMS, and then all you
need to concern is about the database backup. If you're interested in know
more about it, the Jackrabbit users list [4] is the most appropriate place.

Kindly,
