.. _docker_backups:
==================
Performing backups
==================
To backup the existing data, stop the image and copy the content of the volume.
For the example::
docker run -d --name mayan-edms --restart=always -p 80:8000 \
-v /docker-volumes/mayan:/var/lib/mayan \
-v /opt/scanned_files:/scanned_files mayanedms/mayanedms:latest
That would be the ``/docker-volumes/mayan folder``::
sudo tar -zcvf backup.tar.gz /docker-volumes/mayan
sudo chown `whoami` backup.tar.gz
If using an external PostgreSQL or MySQL database or database containers, these
too need to be backed up using their respective procedures. A simple solution
is to copy the entire database container volume after the container has
been stopped.
=======================
Restoring from a backup
=======================
Uncompress the backup archive in the original docker volume using::
sudo tar -xvzf backup.tar.gz -C /
