To make backup and restore operations easier, we are using folder volume mounts. You can simply stop your stack with docker-compose down, then backup all the files and subfolders in the folder near the docker-compose.yml file.
Creating a ZIP Archive For example, if you want to create a ZIP archive, navigate to the folder where you have your docker-compose.yml file and use this command:
zip -r myarchive.zip .
Restoring from ZIP Archive To restore from a ZIP archive, unzip the archive into the original folder using the following command:
unzip myarchive.zip -d /path/to/original/folder
Starting Your Stack Once your backup is complete, you can start your stack again with the following command:
docker-compose up -d
That’s it! With these simple steps, you can easily back up and restore your data volumes using Docker Compose.
