# [terraria-backup-docker](https://github.com/PassiveLemon/terraria-backup-docker)
Side-car Docker container to backup [terraria-docker](https://github.com/PassiveLemon/terraria-docker).
> [!WARNING]
> This is container alone is NOT a substitute for a proper backup solution. If losing data would cause you trouble, please, take proper care of it.
# Quick setup
1. Mount your Terraria world directory.
2. Run the container: (Make sure to modify any values that you need.)
- `docker run -d --name terraria-backup -v /opt/TerrariaServer/Worlds/:/opt/terraria-backup/worlds/ passivelemon/terraria-backup-docker:latest`
# Setting up the container
This will loop over all worldnames in the world directory and back up the world files associated with that name. The backups are placed in a Backups subdirectory in the same directory as the world files.
