I've had my system running longer with the help of Docker and I'm wondering which containers/volumes I need to back up and which don't need to be backed up. I haven't found anything on the net or here about which volumes should be backed up and which don't need to be backed up. Can someone give me information about this?

TL;DR
The user is inquiring about which volumes need to be backed up for their system running on Docker. They mention that the volumes "appwrite-cache" and "appwrite-certificates" are not important but recommend backing them up. The user is seeking information on which volumes should be backed up and which ones can be skipped.

Why don't you backup all of them?

Those are not important but recommend to backup:

  • appwrite-cache
  • appwrite-certificates

Yes, it makes sense to back up all of them, but I just wanted to know if it might make sense to only back up certain ones.

To save some storage 😉

It could, and I understand the storage saving, but usually the other not-so-important volumes are much smaller.
