You can restore containers and images in place or to a new destination.
Images are restored by copying the tar archive for the image to the host.
Containers are restored by using the config file to create a new container from the base image, then applying the modified layer to the new container:
-
The image.tar file is uploaded directly from the MediaAgent to the Docker host.
-
The JSON configuration file is saved to the Job Results directory, modified, and uploaded to the Docker host.
-
The files for the layer.tar file are staged to the Job Results directory, and then uploaded to the Docker host. These files provide modified data for the container.
