# PostgreSQL Docker Upgrade: Major Version Migration
|
|
|
|
This guide explains how to safely upgrade a PostgreSQL Docker container from one major version to another (e.g., version 12 to 16) using a **dump and restore** method. This is the recommended approach in Docker environments.

|
|
|
## ⚠️ Important
|
|
PostgreSQL data directories are **not compatible across major versions**. You cannot just point a newer version to the old data volume. You must export and re-import your data.
|
|
|
|
## Backup
|
|
First do a backup
|
|
|
|
## Restore
|
|
Setup new Version and apply restore_postgres_databases.py.
