+# ABOUT
+
+This is my collection of short and dirty bash script
+to ease the execution of some common docker tasks. 
+
+# RESTORE NEW VOLUME FROM TAR ARCHIVE
+./docker\_resotre\_vol.sh \[source-tar-archive\] \[new-target-volume\]
+
+# BACKUP DOCKER VOLUMES
+./docker\_backup\_vol.sh 
+Run without params for help. Supports --all-vols, --single-vol, --exclude-vol
+
+# BACKUP DOCKER VOLUME OF A CONTAINER THAT IS NOT RUNNING
+docker\_backup\_offline\_vol.sh
+
+# BACKUP ALL MARIADB AND MYSQL DATABASES
+./docker\_backup\_all\_sql.sh
+Dumps all runinng containers where the image contains 'mariadb' or 'mysql'.
+The root passwords are extracted via 'docker inspect'
+
+# BACKUP SOME DATA ABOUT RUNNING CONTAINERS
+./docker\_backup\_crazy.sh
+
+The execution of this simple script will hopefully create a backup 
+of the following entities for all currently running docker containers:
+
+- environment variables -> to a txt file
+- all mounted file binds -> to a gzipped tar file
+- all mounted directory binds -> to a gzipped tar file
+- all mounted data volumes -> to a gzipped tar file
+
+The backups will be placed in the current directory and prefixed 
+with a timestamp and container name.
+
+# AUTO BACKUP ALL DOCKER-COMPOSE CONTAINERS IN A GIVEN TREE
+docker\_compose\_backup.sh
+
+# CAUTION
+
+However this was never tested, the scripts will most likely fail 
+pathetically if variables containing spaces are encountered !!!
