Improve Swarm support (#333)

* Query for labeled services as well * Try scaling down services * Scale services back up * Use progress tool from Docker CLI * In test, label both services * Clean up error and log messages * Document scale-up/down approach in docs * Downgrade Docker CLI to match client * Document services stats * Do not rely on PreviousSpec for storing desired replica count * Log warnings from Docker when updating services * Check whether container and service labels collide * Document script behavior on label collision * Add additional check if all containers have been removed * Scale services concurrently * Move docker interaction code into own file * Factor out code for service updating * Time out after five minutes of not reaching desired container count * Inline handling of in-swarm container level restart * Timer is more suitable for timeout race * Timeout when scaling down services should be configurable * Choose better filename * Reflect changes in naming * Rename and deprecate BACKUP_STOP_CONTAINER_LABEL * Improve logging * Further simplify logging

+title: Replace deprecated BACKUP_STOP_CONTAINER_LABEL setting
+layout: default
+parent: How Tos
+nav_order: 19
+---
+
+# Replace deprecated `BACKUP_STOP_CONTAINER_LABEL` setting
+
+Version `v2.36.0` deprecated the `BACKUP_STOP_CONTAINER_LABEL` setting and renamed it `BACKUP_STOP_DURING_BACKUP_LABEL` which is supposed to signal that this will stop both containers _and_ services.
+Migrating is done by renaming the key for your custom value:
+
+```diff
+    env:
+-     BACKUP_STOP_CONTAINER_LABEL: database
+     BACKUP_STOP_DURING_BACKUP_LABEL: database
+```
+
+The old key will stay supported until the next major version, but logs a warning each time a backup is taken.

 # Stop containers during backup

+{: .note }
+In case you are running Docker in Swarm mode, [dedicated documentation](./use-with-docker-swarm.html) on service and container restart applies.
+
 In many cases, it will be desirable to stop the services that are consuming the volume you want to backup in order to ensure data integrity.
 This image can automatically stop and restart containers and services.
 By default, any container that is labeled `docker-volume-backup.stop-during-backup=true` will be stopped before the backup is being taken and restarted once it has finished.

-In case you need more fine grained control about which containers should be stopped (e.g. when backing up multiple volumes on different schedules), you can set the `BACKUP_STOP_CONTAINER_LABEL` environment variable and then use the same value for labeling:

 # Use with Docker Swarm

-By default, Docker Swarm will restart stopped containers automatically, even when manually stopped.
-If you plan to have your containers / services stopped during backup, this means you need to apply the `on-failure` restart policy to your service's definitions.
-A restart policy of `always` is not compatible with this tool.
+{: .note }
+The mechanisms described in this page __do only apply when Docker is running in [Swarm mode][swarm]__.
+
+[swarm]: https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/
+
+## Stopping containers during backup
+
+Stopping and restarting containers during backup creation when running Docker in Swarm mode is supported in two ways.
+
+{: .important }
+Make sure you label your services and containers using only one of the describe approaches.
+In case the script encounters a container that is labeled and has a parent service that is also labeled, it will exit early.
+
+### Scaling services down to zero before scaling back up
+
+When labeling a service in the `deploy` section, the following strategy for stopping and restarting will be used:
+
+- The service is scaled down to zero replicas
+- The backup is created
+- The service is scaled back up to the previous number of replicas
+
+{: .note }
+This approach will only work for services that are deployed in __replicated mode__.
+
+Such a service definition could look like:
+
+```yml
+services:
+  app:
+    image: myorg/myimage:latest
+    deploy:
+      labels:
+        - docker-volume-backup.stop-during-backup=true
+      replicas: 2
+```
+
+### Stopping the containers
+
+This approach bypasses the services and stops containers directly, creates the backup and restarts the containers again.
+As Docker Swarm would usually try to instantly restart containers that are manually stopped, this approach only works when using the `on-failure` restart policy.
+A restart policy of `always` is not compatible with this approach.
+
+Such a service definition could look like:
+
+```yml
+services:
+  app:
+    image: myapp/myimage:latest
+    labels:
+      - docker-volume-backup.stop-during-backup=true
+    deploy:
+      replicas: 2
+      restart_policy:
+        condition: on-failure
+```

 ---

+## Memory limit considerations
+
 When running in Swarm mode, it's also advised to set a hard memory limit on your service (~25MB should be enough in most cases, but if you backup large files above half a gigabyte or similar, you might have to raise this in case the backup exits with `Killed`):
