    11  # export
    12  
    13      Usage: docker export [OPTIONS] CONTAINER
    14  
    15      Export the contents of a container's filesystem as a tar archive
    16  
    17        --help=false       Print usage
    18        -o, --output=""    Write to a file, instead of STDOUT
    19  
    20  The `docker export` command does not export the contents of volumes associated
    21  with the container. If a volume is mounted on top of an existing directory in
    22  the container, `docker export` will export the contents of the *underlying*
    23  directory, not the contents of the volume.
    24  
    25  Refer to [Backup, restore, or migrate data
    26  volumes](../../userguide/dockervolumes.md#backup-restore-or-migrate-data-volumes) in
    27  the user guide for examples on exporting data in a volume.

    34
