+**Backup Docker Volumes to Local** is a set of Python and shell scripts that enable you to perform incremental backups of all your Docker volumes using rsync. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with [Kevin's Package Manager](https://github.com/kevinveenbirkenbach/package-manager) under the alias **baudolo**, making it easy to install and manage. The tool supports both file and database recoveries with a clear, automated backup scheme.

+
+## 🎯 Goal
+
+This project automates the backup of Docker volumes using incremental backups (rsync) and supports recovering both files and database dumps (MariaDB/PostgreSQL). A robust directory stamping mechanism ensures data integrity, and the tool also handles restarting Docker Compose services when necessary.
+
+## 🚀 Features
+
+- **Incremental Backups:** Uses rsync with `--link-dest` for efficient, versioned backups.
+- **Database Backup Support:** Backs up MariaDB and PostgreSQL databases from running containers.
+- **Volume Recovery:** Provides scripts to recover volumes and databases from backups.
+- **Docker Compose Integration:** Option to automatically restart Docker Compose services after backup.
+- **Flexible Configuration:** Easily integrated with your Docker environment with minimal setup.
+- **Comprehensive Logging:** Detailed command output and error handling for safe operations.
+
+## 🛠 Requirements
+
+- **Linux Operating System** (with Docker installed) 🐧
+- **Python 3.x** 🐍
+- **Docker & Docker Compose** 🔧
+- **rsync** installed on your system
+
+## 📥 Installation
+
+You can install **Backup Docker Volumes to Local** easily via [Kevin's Package Manager](https://github.com/kevinveenbirkenbach/package-manager) using the alias **baudolo**:
 
 ```bash
-./docker-volume-backup.sh
+pkgmgr install baudolo
 ```
 
-## Recover
-Execute:
+Alternatively, clone the repository directly:
 
 ```bash
-./docker-volume-recover.sh {{volume_name}} {{backup_path}}
+git clone https://github.com/kevinveenbirkenbach/backup-docker-to-local.git
+cd backup-docker-to-local
 ```
 
-## Debug
-To checkout what's going on in the mount container type in the following command:
+## 🚀 Usage
+
+### Backup All Volumes
+
+To backup all Docker volumes, simply run:
+
+```bash
+./backup-docker-to-local.sh
+```
+
+### Recovery
+
+#### Recover Volume Files
+
+```bash
+bash ./recover-docker-from-local.sh "{{volume_name}}" "$(sha256sum /etc/machine-id | head -c 64)" "{{version_to_recover}}"
+```
+
+#### Recover Database
+
+For example, to recover a MySQL/MariaDB database:
+
+```bash
+docker exec -i mysql_container mysql -uroot -psecret database < db.sql
+```
+
+#### Debug Mode
+
+To inspect what’s happening inside a container:
 
 ```bash
 docker run -it --entrypoint /bin/sh --rm --volumes-from {{container_name}} -v /Backups/:/Backups/ kevinveenbirkenbach/alpine-rsync
 ```
-## Manual Backup
-rsync -aPvv  '***{{source_path}}***/' ***{{destination_path}}***";
 
-## Test
-Delete the volume.
+## 🔍 Backup Scheme
 
-```bash
-docker rm -f container-name
-docker volume rm volume-name
-```
+The backup mechanism uses incremental backups with rsync and stamps directories with a unique hash. For more details on the backup scheme, check out [this blog post](https://blog.veen.world/blog/2020/12/26/how-i-backup-dedicated-root-servers/).

-Recover the volume:
+## 👨‍💻 Author
 
-```bash
-docker volume create volume-name
-docker run --rm -v volume-name:/recover/ -v ~/backup/:/backup/ "kevinveenbirkenbach/alpine-rsync" sh -c "rsync -avv /backup/ /recover/"
