Currently it's not possible to backup Docker volumes with the REST backend. There was a discussion where another user tried the same.

Attempting to do so will generate the following error:

Backend type "rest" is not supported as volume endpoint

The error stems from here:

Lines 196 to 197 in 2418da5

    
           default: 
        
           	return -1, "", fmt.Errorf("Backend type \"%s\" is not supported as volume endpoint", b.Type)

I am not sure of what the technical limitations are, but I would think any backend should be viable.

	default:
	return -1, "", fmt.Errorf("Backend type \"%s\" is not supported as volume endpoint", b.Type)

Support backing up Docker volumes via the REST backend
