A volume is persistent storage, not an automatic backup. Correct recovery depends on application consistency, storage and retained versions.

A running database container can produce inconsistent file copies if copied outside its supported backup protocol. Map the data before planning recovery.

Docker
A new image can migrate stored data so an older image can no longer read it. Image rollback and data rollback are separate plans.

A volume with no current container reference may still hold a required recovery copy or data from a temporarily removed workload.

Docker
A full host can involve several storage categories whose sizes overlap or use different accounting. Inventory before choosing a cleanup target.

Docker
A container can accumulate important files in its writable layer while its named data volume remains small. Inspect changed paths before replacement.

Container logs can consume host space outside an application's data volume. Identify the driver and its managed path before cleanup.

Default logging configuration normally applies when containers are created, not as a guaranteed live rewrite of every existing container.

A tmpfs mount stores temporary runtime data rather than a persistent backup copy. Resource and security implications depend on platform configuration.

Docker
A named volume can exist in metadata while its external storage provider cannot mount it. Inspect the driver before treating it as local data.

Numeric IDs inside and outside a container can differ because of user mapping. Ordinary rootful assumptions may produce incorrect ownership changes.
