Should be totally fine. If you dont specify a directory to backup the .bak file to the backup file will be backed up to the default/configurable backup directory. By default that dir is /var/opt/mssql/data "inside" the container. If that directory is mounted to the underlying host then it will be persisted to the host file system if that is what you want to do.
Public service announcement: We are going to eventually stop distributing the SQL Server container images via Docker Hub (i.e. /microsoft/mssql-server-linux). We are moving to the new Microsoft Container Registry (mcr.microsoft.com) so please change to using
docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server
See the We're moving! announcement for more info.
Hi, Thanks for the answer, Do you know how I backup using the powershell-core?
I saw that there is powershell command named Backup-SqlDatabase
View Link here: Link
But it does not work on Powershell Core (version 6), my powershell version 5.1 recognized the command.
Or if you have any other method to backup the containred SQL Server from a remote machine, I would like to hear that.
My idea was to send some Rest command to the SQL Server container to perform the back, but I didn't find a way to do it.
Thanks
The PowerShell cmdlets are not really supported on PowerShell core yet (we are working on it though!). You can either use full PowerShell on Windows and remotely connect to the SQL Server instance to run the PowerShell commands or you can use a command line utility such as sqlcmd (pre-installed with SQL Server on Windows and SSMS or download/install) (docs) or mssql-cli (install/docs) to remotely connect and run a T-SQL script using BACKUP DATABASE.
I have a SQL Server on a docker container (microsoft/mssql-server-linux) I want to Backup the database remotely using Powershell command.
So The final result will be that a .bak file would be added to the container. Does anyone knows if it is possible, and how?
