Backup

Specify the above environment variables to switch to the MySQL(MariaDB) database.

Restore

When restoring, also specify the above environment variables to switch to the MySQL(MariaDB) database.

1. Ensure that the database is accessible.

Perhaps you will use the docker-compose up -d [services name] command to start the database separately.

2. Verify that the MYSQL_HOST you are using is accessible to.

If your database is running in docker-compose, you need to find the corresponding network name via docker network ls and add --network=[name] to the restore command to specify the network name.

3. Restore and restart the container.
