Theres probably more that I'm expected to know but as far as I can tell this script backs everything up to a text file in JSON format, and the volume, but when I restore, it only restores the volume. How do I restore the rest?

Being a bunch of bash scripts, would benefit from a better security posture and less possible issues with wildcards of all the scripts being shellcheck compatible

A back-up is as good as it's restore. So I wanted to restore, do you have some instructions on that?

Kinda like the title says :) It would be nice, else i would like to contribute after im done making mine.

When i run the script I get this error
ghost - docker: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: invalid mount {Destination::/backup Type:bind Source:/var/lib/docker/volumes/$volume_ID/_data Options:[rbind]}: mount destination :/backup not absolute: unknown. OK This happens for all of my containers and I am running it as root.
Im kinda new to linux and I could just be messing something up but what am I doing wrong here?

Cheers

How restore using this backup?

A this time, the script get all volumes from a container and merge all data in one single tar file. This behavior completely prevents restoring volumes to their initial state because we cannot determine the name and data of each volume.

The idea would be to separate the volumes found in a "volumes" folder at the root of the backup and to give the name of the volume to the file.
In this way, each volume can be restored and at the same time we avoid volume duplication which will affect the size of the backup (if two containers share the same volume, currently we create the backup twice)
