This document provides instructions and best practices for Docker Enterprise backup procedures for all components of the platform.
To back up Docker Enterprise, you must create individual backups for each of the following components:
If you do not create backups for all components, you cannot restore your deployment to its previous state.
Test each backup you create. One way to test your backups is to do a fresh installation on a separate infrastructure with the backup. Refer to Restore Docker Enterprise for additional information.
Note: Application data backup is not included in this information. Persistent storage data backup is the responsibility of the storage provider for the storage plugin or driver.
