Create a backup of the "qmetry" database. By default, the backup is saved in the /opt directory.

Run the following command to update the username, password, and backup file location.

docker exec qmetryapp_db sh -c 'exec mysqldump -uroot -p<password> --triggers --routines --hex-blob --single-transaction --lock-tables --no-create-db qmetry' > /opt/qmetry_backup_<date>.sql

  docker exec qmetryapp_db sh -c 'exec mysqldump -uroot -pqmetry --triggers --routines --hex-blob --single-transaction --lock-tables --no-create-db qmetry' > /opt/qmetry_backup_2023-01-01.sql

Verify that the database is backed up and is available.
