All of my data is on folder drive mounts that where our data is to make backup and restore operations easier. Stopping your stack with docker-compose down will allow you to back up all the files and subfolders in the folder next to the docker-compose.yml file.
For example, if you want to create a ZIP archive, you can use the following command:
zip -r myarchive.zip .
To restore from a ZIP archive, please unzip the archive into the original folder using the following command.
unzip myarchive.zip -d /path/to/original/folder
Once your backup has been completed, you can start your stack again with the following command:
docker-compose up -d
This is all. With these simple steps, you can easily backup and restore your data volumes with Docker Compose.
