Assumptions

For this example I will assume the following things:

• ~/Docker-Backup-Utility/rclone contains your rclone.conf file. If your file resides elsewhere, change this in the docker run command below.
• ~/Docker-Backup-Utility/backup.json is the path to your backup.json file. If your file resides elsewhere, change this in the docker run command below.
• /var/docker-data is the location of your stored Docker data that you wish to backup. If your files reside elsewhere, change this in the docker run command below.

The Command

Use the following command as a template for your backup, ensuring to modify it to your needs following the assumtions guide above.

docker run --rm \
           -v ~/Docker-Backup-Utility/rclone:/root/.config/rclone \
           -v ~/Docker-Backup-Utility/backup.json:/root/backup.json:ro \
           -v /var/docker-data:/docker-data:ro \
           -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro \
