command: docker export
short: Export a container's filesystem as a tar archive
long: |-
The `docker export` command does not export the contents of volumes associated
with the container. If a volume is mounted on top of an existing directory in
the container, `docker export` will export the contents of the *underlying*
directory, not the contents of the volume.
Refer to [Backup, restore, or migrate data volumes](https://docs.docker.com/v17.03/engine/tutorials/dockervolumes/#backup-restore-or-migrate-data-volumes)
in the user guide for examples on exporting data in a volume.
