Docker

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

version: '3.8'

volumes:
  data:
    name: my-data

services:
  api:
    image: alpine
    volumes:
      - data:/foo/bar

locations:
  foo:
    from: my-data
    type: volume
    # ...

Now you can backup and restore as always.

autorestic backup -l hello

autorestic restore -l hello

The volume has to exists whenever backing up or restoring.
