Backup DCT on Docker Compose
Docker Compose should only be used to deploy DCT in an evaluation/testing capacity.
This article discusses how to backup DCT. The data that needs to be backed up is the Docker volumes used by the DCT container, gwdatabase container, and the configuration directories on the host that are bind mounted to the containers.
The Docker volumes named {xxx}delphix-dct-data
and {xxx}delphix-dct-database-data
should be backed up to prevent data loss. This Docker article explains how to backup a data volume.
The bind mount directories containing the configuration files are standard directories that can be backed up as desired. A simple approach would be to create a tar file of the contents. If /my/config is the bind mount directory on the host, then this can be done with the following command:
tar -czf gateway-backup.tgz /my/config
