@ -25,11 +25,14 @@ You should use a [data volume container](https://medium.com/@ramangupta/why-dock
Assuming that you use `docker-compose` and a data volume container named `maildata`, you can backup your user mails like this:
docker run --rm \
--volume dockermailserver_maildata:/var/mail \
-v "$(pwd)":/backups \
-ti tvial/docker-mailserver \
tar cvzf /backups/docker-mailserver-`date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S`.tgz /var/mail
```docker run --rm -ti \
-v maildata:/var/mail \
-v mailstate:/var/mail-state \
-v /backup/mail:/backup \
alpine:3.2 \
tar cvzf /backup/mail-`date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S`.tgz /var/mail /var/mail-state
find /backup/mail -type f -mtime +30 -exec rm -f {} \;```
### What about `mail-state` folder?
This folder consolidates all data generated by the server itself to persist when you upgrade.
