I have not yet created a new docker container for immch yet
just wondering what the best method would be

You will need to import/upload all the files again then

if you want to be able to restore by just copying folders, you can pass appdata folders from the host system instead of using docker volumes so you back them up as well. This approach requires stopping the server before backing up though.

Library would work as well, but it doesn't have any user data, albums, shared links, etc. You should backup your database either way in the future.
Like library is an option for re-importing, yes. But you still need to backup if you want to restore anything else next time.
