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.

    Rsync works fine for most data. (I use borgbackup) For any database data, create a dump using pg_dump or mysqldump or whatever. Then backup the dump and all other volumes but exclude the db volume.
