## What it is
A lightweight Docker companion container that performs recurring or one-off backups of Docker volumes to local directories or S3, WebDAV, Azure Blob Storage, Dropbox, Google Drive, and SSH-compatible storage. It supports backup rotation, GPG encryption, and notifications for failed backup runs.

## Use cases
- back up docker volumes to s3 on a schedule
- automatically rotate old docker volume backups
- encrypt docker volume backups with gpg
- run one-off docker volume backup from cli
- back up docker volumes in a compose setup
- send notifications when a docker backup fails
- sync docker volume backups to ssh or webdav storage

## When to choose
- you run Docker or Docker Swarm and need scheduled volume backups
- you want a small companion container rather than a full backup system
- you need multiple storage backends (S3, WebDAV, SSH, cloud providers) with rotation and encryption

## When to avoid
- you need full system or database-level backups rather than volume file backups
- you are not using Docker and just need simple file backups
- you need incremental/deduplicated backups like restic or borg

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: backup, scheduling, cryptography, workflow-automation
