#!/bin/bash
# This script backs up all running Docker containers and their associated volumes.
# For each container, it creates a compressed archive file (.tar.gz) containing
# the container's state and any named volumes used by the container at the time of execution.
# Backups are stored in a directory called "backup_docker_container" and "backup_docker_volumes".
# Each backup file is named with the container name and the current date and time,
# making it easy to identify when the backup was taken.
#
# Usage:
# 1. Save this script to a file, for example: backup_containers_volumes.sh
# 2. Make the script executable: chmod +x backup_containers_volumes.sh
# 3. Run the script: ./backup_containers_volumes.sh
#
# Automation with Cron:
# You can automate the execution of this script and manage old backups with a Cron job:
#
# 1. To back up all Docker containers every Sunday at midnight:
# 0 0 * * 0 /root/backup_containers_volumes.sh
#
# 2. To delete backup files older than 14 days every day at 1 AM:
# 0 1 * * * find /root/backup_docker_container/* -mtime +14 -exec rm {} \;
# 0 1 * * * find /root/backup_docker_volumes/* -mtime +14 -exec rm {} \;
#
# Restoring a backup:
# To restore a Docker container from a backup, follow these steps:
#
# 1. Uncompress the .tar.gz file:
# gunzip /path/to/backup_docker_container/container_name_date.tar.gz
#
# 2. Create a Docker image from the .tar file:
# cat /path/to/backup_docker_container/container_name_date.tar | docker import - new_image_name
#
# This will create a new Docker image from the container's backup.
#
# 3. Start a new container from the restored image:
# docker run -d --name new_container_name new_image_name
#
# 4. Restore the Docker volumes using the backed-up volume files.
# Use `docker volume create` and `docker run` to copy data back to the restored volumes.
