Title: Configuring Volume Export Destinations and Scheduling
Summary
This section describes how to configure where to export a Docker volume to (Local file, Local image, Docker Hub Repository, or External Cloud Storage). For external cloud storage, a Docker Business subscription is required and a URL from AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud must be provided. It also explains how to schedule recurring volume exports, which requires a paid Docker subscription, with daily, weekly, or monthly recurrence options. Similar to immediate exports, scheduled exports can be directed to local storage, Docker Hub, or external cloud storage.
