## 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 `/restore.sh`. That should be that! Eg. `docker exec my_backup_container /restore.sh`
|
|
|
|
### To Do
|
|
- [ ] Automatic restoration if there is no source data
