I bought a second hand NUC to have a little more horsepower to run various services. I have it connected to my NAS, but almost all of the docker volumes reside on the SSD in the NUC.
It would be nice to be able to backup those volumes to my NAS in case the NUC fails. I have Debian 12 running on it.
What are my options ? Should I just backup my docker volumes or does it make more sense to backup the entire NUC ? (I’m less tech savvy then I might appear. Please be generous with your explanation, I still have a lot to learn)
How would you automate the stopping of the containers?
I’m not sure, but I think you’d just need to create a script which stops them, runs the backup, and then restarts them.
