That doesn't work for databases unless you stop the container. You'll likely end...

Streaming replication to a read-only DB off-site.

Shut that one down and back it up from time to time.

Then copy that to a third site with rsync/etc

Any decent RDBMS can be backup live without issues. You only need to stop for restore (well without going with complex tricks)

Yes, but not by "simply" snapshotting the volume/disk as the previous poster suggested.

Then stop the container.

A self hosted app can have a few minutes of downtime at 3am while the backup script runs.
