Just backup your "$HOME/.passwordstore" directory.

Copy the backup back into place.

$ pass init key-id

The documentation explains quite well, how "pass" is working and where
the files are stored. The format is dead easy, which is IMHO one of the
great features of the password store.

Even if Jason would suddenly decide to discontinue the project and even
if all existing copies would suddenly magically disappear. Or if all
you have available is a "strange", "unsupported" platform like IOS,
Android or Windows. You will always be able to read edit and manage
your keys by hand, as long as you have (a) file system and (b) an
OpenPGP implementation.
