Create a backup of a UCP manager node.
## Usage
```bash
docker container run --log-driver none --rm -i \
--name ucp \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
docker/ucp \
backup [command options] > backup.tar
```
## Description
This command creates a tar file with the contents of the volumes used by
this UCP manager node, and prints it. You can then use the `restore` command to
restore the data from an existing backup.
To create backups of a multi-node cluster, you only need to back up a single
manager node. The restore operation will reconstitute a new UCP installation
from the backup of any previous manager.
Note:
* The backup contains private keys and other sensitive information. Use the
`--passphrase` flag to encrypt the backup with PGP-compatible encryption
or `--no-passphrase` to opt out (not recommended).
* If using the `--file` option, the path to the file must be bind mounted
onto the container that is performing the backup, and the filepath must be
relative to the container's file tree. For example:
```
docker run <other options> --mount type=bind,src=/home/user/backup:/backup docker/ucp --file /backup/backup.tar
```
