 The sqlite3 database should be backed up using the proper sqlite3 backup command. This will ensure the database does not become corrupted if the backup happens during a database write.
 
 ```
+mkdir $DATA_FOLDER/db-backup
 sqlite3 /$DATA_FOLDER/db.sqlite3 ".backup '/$DATA_FOLDER/db-backup/backup.sqlite3'"
 ```
 
-This command can be run via a CRON job everyday, however note that it will overwrite the same `backup.sqlite3` file each time. This backup file should therefore be saved via incremental backup either using a CRON job command that appends a timestamp or from another backup app such as Duplicati. To restore simply overwrite `db.sqlite3` with `backup.sqlite3` (while bitwarden_rs is stopped).

+Running the above command requires sqlite3 to be installed on the docker host system. You can achieve the same result with a sqlite3 docker container using the following command.
+```
+docker run --rm --volumes-from=bitwarden bruceforce/bw_backup /backup.sh
+```
+
+You can also run a container with integrated cron daemon to automatically backup your database. See https://gitlab.com/1O/bitwarden_rs-backup for examples.
