Add Backup & Restore section to docs.drupalcommerce.org/commerce2/developer-guide

I'm a very newbie, newbie both on Git and Drupal in general. I used the guide successfully to install a Drupal Commerce 8.x site the Composer way
Installing | Drupal Commerce docs
and now I realize I don't know know how to back it up and restore it. I don't assume it's just as simple as copy out the /web subfolder and corresponding database because of all the Composer and Drupal Console tweaks I did to add modules, themes and so on. that Google AMP integration was a bear to turn on
I see nothing in the developer guide about this so maybe it is that simple? I'm just too new to have instincts for this type of thing. I don't even know if I'm using Git right to post this suggestion. I wish there was a tab called a suggestion box.

For DB backup, it should be independent on your composer files. So just use mysql commands or phpmyadmin or whatever has your preference to back up the database.

And the files are just the files. In my case I usually just copy all the files (you do need some of the files in /vendor I think.) Just make sure your hosters docroot / webroot is pointing to your projects /web directory and everything 'above' that is out of reach for the rest of the world.

Thank you very much. I'm actually my own hosting service. I'm losing a struggle with secure virtual mail services in Postfix with a DHCP connection and about to erase my server to try something different. My site isn't developed yet, but I want to see that I can backup and restore prior to developing it. Listening to Drupal podcasts had me thinking that if you don't Git all the files of a Drupal site, then you don't backup all the files.
