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.

    I don’t even understand what the advantage is to using volumes rather than mounts? So I too always use mounts.

      I’m not sure either. The only thing I could come up with is that with volumes you don’t have to worry about file ownership. That’s usually taken care of for you with volumes from what I understand.
