docker-volume-backup

Overview

This project sets out to make a quick and easy job of backing up and restoring Docker volumes.

• To run a backup:
  • Volume mount the volume in question to the containers '/input' directory.
  • Volume mount a host directory to 'output'; the backup will be saved here.
  • Specify the 'backup' command.
• To run a restore:
  • Place the .tar backup into the 'input' directory.
  • Volume mount a new volume (see 'volume_to_restore' below)
  • Specify the 'restore' command, followed by the relative backup file (i.e. /input/backup.tar.gz)

How to run

Buliding the image

docker build -t docker-volume-backup .

Running a backup

docker run -it -v jenkins_jenkins_home:/input -v /home/mccullya/Projects/github/docker-volume-backup/output:/output docker-volume-backup backup

Running a restore

docker run -it -v << volume_to_restore >>:/output -v /home/mccullya/Projects/github/docker-volume-backup/input:/input docker-volume-backup restore /input/backup.tar.gz

docker run -it -v boom2:/output -v /home/mccullya/Projects/github/docker-volume-backup/input:/input docker-volume-backup restore /input/backup.tar.gz
