autorestic supports docker volumes directly, without needing them to be mounted to the host filesystem.
|
||||
|

> Available since version 0.13
|
||||
|
||||
Let see an example.

||||
|
||||
```yaml | docker-compose.yml

||||
version: '3.7'

# ...

```
|
||||
|
||||
Now you can backup and restore as always.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
autorestic -l hello backup
|
||||
autorestic backup -l hello
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
autorestic -l hello restore
|
||||
autorestic restore -l hello
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If the volume does not exist on restore, autorestic will create it for you and then fill it with the data.
|
||||
|
||||
## Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately there are some limitations when backing up directly from a docker volume without mounting the volume to the host:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Incremental updates are not possible right now due to how the current docker mounting works. This means that it will take significantely more space.
|
||||
2. Exclude patterns and files also do not work as restic only sees a compressed tarball as source and not the actual data.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are curious or have ideas how to improve this, please [read more here](https://github.com/cupcakearmy/autorestic/issues/4#issuecomment-568771951). Any help is welcomed 🙂
|
||||
The volume has to exists whenever backing up or restoring.
