Tips

Hostnames

Hostname is used for identifying what you are backing up. You may want to specify this on your container.

Backing up from another container

Mount all volumes from your existing container with --volumes-from and then back up by providing the paths to those volumes. If there are more than one volumes, you'll want to use the above tip for mulitple backup sources

Restoring a backup

On your running container, execute /scripts/restore.sh. That should be that! Eg. docker exec my_backup_container /scripts/restore.sh

Backup to any rclone destination

This image also contains rclone. This allows you to target any destination supported by rclone. Check out the official documentation to see how to configure this.

Rather than having to use an exec shell inside the container, I recommend configuring via the backup destination. For example: rclone::ftp,env_auth:/test-restic and then passing all config values via the environment.

Pre/post backup/restore scripts

Before and after any backup or restore, scripts located in /scripts/{backup,restore}/{before,after}/ will be executed. This can be used to do things like snapshotting a database before backing it up and restoring the contents.
