## Description
|
|
|
|
The `docker export` command doesn't 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` exports the contents of the underlying
|
|
directory, not the contents of the volume.
|
|
|
|
Refer to [Backup, restore, or migrate data volumes](https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/#back-up-restore-or-migrate-data-volumes)
|
|
in the user guide for examples on exporting data in a volume.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
The following commands produce the same result.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ docker export red_panda > latest.tar
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ docker export --output="latest.tar" red_panda
|
|
```
