When backing up do I need to stop/start bitwarden container?

Help

I read this wiki post: https://github.com/dani-garcia/bitwarden_rs/wiki/Backing-up-your-vault

Currently I’m backing up the db using the sqlite .backup command as instructed, then I backup the entire bwdata folder which is mapped on the host via:

  • $DATADIR/bwdata:/data

In the article you only mention stopping the container for a restore. Does this mean I do not have to stop/start bitwarden container for the backup itself?

Thank you!

Yes. You don’t have to.
