About Nautical Backup
Nautical Backup runs as its own Docker container and backs up the data that other containers keep in bind mounts and volumes. On a schedule it stops a container, copies its data, and starts the container again, so files are not copied while they are being written.
It is aimed at home server and self-hosting setups where many services run in Docker and their data needs a regular, consistent copy. Documentation is kept in the repository.
Strengths
- Stops containers before copying for consistent backups
- Runs on a schedule without manual steps
- Deploys as a single Docker container
Limitations
- Only for data used by Docker containers
- Containers are briefly offline during each backup
