# export
Usage: docker export [OPTIONS] CONTAINER
Export the contents of a container's filesystem as a tar archive
--help Print usage
-o, --output="" Write to a file, instead of STDOUT
The `docker export` command does not export the contents of volumes associated
with the container. If a volume is mounted on top of an existing directory in
the container, `docker export` will export the contents of the *underlying*
directory, not the contents of the volume.
Refer to [Backup, restore, or migrate data
volumes](../../userguide/containers/dockervolumes.md#backup-restore-or-migrate-data-volumes) in
the user guide for examples on exporting data in a volume.
## Examples
$ docker export red_panda > latest.tar
Or
$ docker export --output="latest.tar" red_panda
