#### 🐳 Docker volumes
Since version 0.13 autorestic supports docker volumes directly, without needing them to be mounted to the host filesystem.
Let see an example.
###### docker-compose.yml
```yaml
version: '3.7'
volumes:
data:
name: my-data
services:
api:
image: alpine
volumes:
- data:/foo/bar
```
###### .autorestic.yml
```yaml
locations:
hello:
from: 'volume:my-data'
to:
- remote
options:
forget:
keep-last: 2
backends:
remote:
...
```
Now you can backup and restore as always.
```sh
autorestic -l hello backup
```
```sh
autorestic -l hello restore
```
If the volume does not exist on restore, autorestic will create it for you and then fill it with the data.
### Limitations
Unfortunately there are some limitations when backing up directly from a docker volume without mounting the volume to the host. If you are curious or have ideas how to improve this, please [read more here](https://github.com/cupcakearmy/autorestic/issues/4#issuecomment-568771951). Any help is welcomed 🙂
1. Incremental updates are not possible right now due to how the current docker mounting works.
2. Exclude patterns and files also do not work as restic only sees a compressed tarball as source and not the actual data.

Backends are the place where you data will be saved. Backups are incremental and encrypted.
