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. By default, Docker Swarm will restart stopped containers automatically, even when manually stopped.

services:
backup:
image: offen/docker-volume-backup:latest
deployment:
resources:
limits:
memory: 25M
```
