Bacula Systems has gone one step even further with its ground-breaking module for Docker automated Backup and Recovery: it now supports backup and restore of [Dockers’ external volumes](https://www.baculasystems.com/corporate-data-backup-software-solutions/bacula-enterprise-data-backup-tools/automated-backup-and-recovery-for-docker-containers)
.

Aimed at easing the workloads of IT and DevOps departments using Docker, SUSE, CaaS or OpenShift, this advanced module now offers:

• Backup and Recovery of Docker containers configuration, volumes and images  
 • Backup and Recovery of Docker external volumes  
 • Fully integrated solution, adhering to Docker philosophy and methodology  
 • Complete automation for rapid roll-out of container protection strategies  
 • Advanced integration, using Docker API  
 • Image saving, image rollback and backup of image changes  
 • Fine grained control over what containers and images to back up

Bacula Enterprise is the **first solution in the world** to be able to do all this; and that’s without taking into account all the other unique technologies that Bacula brings to the table.
