About docker-volume-backup

docker-volume-backup is a Docker image under 25 MB that runs next to your other containers and backs up their volumes on a schedule. It can keep archives locally or send them to S3, WebDAV, Azure Blob Storage, Dropbox, Google Drive or any SSH-compatible storage.

It suits people running services with Docker Compose on their own servers who want scheduled volume backups without writing their own scripts.

Strengths

  • Lightweight image under 25 MB
  • Many storage targets, including S3, WebDAV and SSH
  • Scheduled backups next to existing containers

Limitations

  • Only backs up Docker volumes
  • Configured through container settings rather than a graphical interface
