The restore process is a bit tricky. It is also difficult to describe a general process, as the systems are too different.
Have a look here:

How to restore OMV 4.X from backup-plugin to system SSD
The easiest way is to make a clone or image of the OS drive using clonezilla, usbimager or win32diskimager for example.

I saw multiple treads talking about clonezilla , the "iso" that i need to mount is the .ddfull? or i need more of that files in the "directory" on the image in the firs post ? ( i selected dd full drive option in the backup plugin )
Another question ( sorry to bother) im planing to add more drives , do you recomend any plugin/raid in particular? ( currently 3 drives and 1 ssd to boot) .
The last question I promise : does OMV have trouble with pci to sata cards to add more ports ? or better try sliting the currently sata ports that i have in the motherboard ?
I saw multiple treads talking about clonezilla , the "iso" that i need to mount is the .ddfull? or i need more of that files in the "directory" on the image in the firs post ? ( i selected dd full drive option in the backup plugin )
Clonezilla is a live distro. So you boot clonezilla instead of your normal OS. Then you can clone your OS drive or create an image of it.
The documentation for clonezilla can be found here:
https://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live-doc.php
I cannot open the the link in the first post.
The restore process for dd is described here: RE: How to restore from an omv-backup?
In this case you don't mount an "iso", but the filesystem where the dd files are stored. And then use dd to restore the data from the dd backup.

That really depends on your needs and your skills.
If you can accept individual drives (actually filesystems), than that is the easiest way. No additional layer of complexity.
The following options definitely need some reading, learning and testing (including failures) on your side:
If you want to access all drives as if they were just one drive, you can pool them together wither unionfilesystem plugin. That plugin uses mergerfs which is documented here: https://github.com/trapexit/mergerfs
If you want to have some additional features you can use the snapraid plugin which uses snapraid
https://www.snapraid.it/manual
mergerfs and snapraid can also be combined.
You can achieve similar features by using zfs or btrfs for the filesystem.
In any case you need your 3-2-1 backup strategy for your data. That is the first thing you need to establish. It is far more important than the backup of your OS drive.
The last question I promise : does OMV have trouble with pci to sata cards to add more ports ? or better try sliting the currently sata ports that i have in the motherboard ?
OMV is based on Debian. So any card that can be used with Debian/Linux, should be fine.
Additional thread, that might be interesting for you
[Backup Plugin] create a single img backup image for use with win32 disk imager / etcher, etc.
