I show you, how to backup your docker volumes in three little steps:

install a nice little script
write a script to backup all volumes at once
download them to your local hard drive

As a bonus we run our backups with cron to do this automatically.

In this video I use the script named "vackup" for backup, you can find it here:

To store the created backups locally, we download them with scp for secure downloading.

You can find all commands and code snippets right here:
