I show you, how to backup your docker volumes in three little steps:

• install a nice little script
• write a script to backup all volumes at once
• download them to your local hard drive

As a bonus we run our backups with cron to do this automatically.

In this video I use the script named "vackup" for backup, you can find it here: https://github.com/BretFisher/docker-vackup

To store the created backups locally, we download them with scp for secure downloading.

You can find all commands and code snippets right here: https://practicalscript.com/easy-docker-volume-backup/
