This topic has come up before on the Pier (smallwiki) mailing list.  Check

# save/restore all data from a pier instance

I use ReferenceStreams as follows:

" save Pier kernel instance "
stream := ReferenceStream fileNamed: 'pier-export.obj'.
stream nextPut: (PRKernel instanceNamed: 'mykernelname') root.
stream close.

" load Pier kernel from stored objects "
stream := ReferenceStream fileNamed: 'pier-export.obj'.
(PRKernel instanceNamed: 'mykernelname') root: stream next.
stream close.
