For those interested in doing this… it’s generally a bad idea to use a volume mount for live databases inside Docker Desktop (as the volumes are using replication in and out of the container, which slows performance dramatically). You best bet is to use a Named Volume for persistence, then you can use docker cp
to copy in/out of that volume. Alternatively, mount a volume to /backup
and use that for your backup path, which will be less of an issue.
