Hi all

I’m running several docker containers with local persistent volumes that I would like to backup. I haven’t found an easy method to do so.

What do you use / recommend to do that? AFAIK you can’t just rsync the volume directory while the container is running.

This is your answer. It also has the benefit of allowing you to have a nice folder structure for your Docker setup, where you have a folder for each service holding the corresponding compose yaml and data folder(s)
