# export
|
|
|
|
Usage: docker export [OPTIONS] CONTAINER
|
|
|
|
Export the contents of a filesystem to a tar archive (streamed to STDOUT by default).
|
|
|
|
-o, --output="" Write to a file, instead of STDOUT
|
|
|
|
Produces a tarred repository to the standard output stream.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
$ docker export red_panda > latest.tar
|
|
|
|
Or
|
|
|
|
$ docker export --output="latest.tar" red_panda
|
|
|
|
The `docker export` command does not export the contents of volumes associated
|
|
with the container. If a volume is mounted on top of an existing directory in
|
|
the container, `docker export` will export the contents of the *underlying*
|
|
directory, not the contents of the volume.
|
|
|
|
Refer to [Backup, restore, or migrate data
|
|
volumes](/userguide/dockervolumes/#backup-restore-or-migrate-data-volumes) in
|
|
the user guide for examples on exporting data in a volume.
