### Create a backup that can then be used with `docker load`.
```bash
$ docker save busybox > busybox.tar
$ ls -sh busybox.tar
2.7M busybox.tar
$ docker save --output busybox.tar busybox
$ ls -sh busybox.tar
2.7M busybox.tar
$ docker save -o fedora-all.tar fedora
$ docker save -o fedora-latest.tar fedora:latest
```
### Save an image to a tar.gz file using gzip

```bash
docker save myimage:latest | gzip > myimage_latest.tar.gz
```
### Cherry-pick particular tags
You can even cherry-pick particular tags of an image repository.
```bash
$ docker save -o ubuntu.tar ubuntu:lucid ubuntu:saucy
