I'm a bit confused about data-only docker containers. I read it's a bad practice to mount directories directly to the source-os: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/docker-user/EUndR1W5EBo/4hmJau8WyjAJ
And I get how I make data-only containers: http://container42.com/2014/11/18/data-only-container-madness/
And I see somewhat similar question like mine: How to deal with persistent storage (e.g. databases) in docker
But what if I have a lamp-server setup.. and I have everything nice setup with data-containers, not linking them 'directly' to my source-os and make a backup once a while..
Than someone comes by, and restarts my server.. How do I setup my docker (data-only)-containers again, so I don't lose any data?
