Backup your Vaultwarden password manager running in docker

When you trust your personal and private account information to a password manager, you want to ensure you have reliable backups.

In my last video, I showed you how to set up Vaultwarden as a self-hosted password manager, and in this video, I will show you how to have a reliable and consistent backup of that password database. Now you are ready, in case disaster strikes and you need to restore your Vaultwarden password database.

Please find my docker-compose stack below to get you started:
