## Common questions

### Does Appdata Backup affect running Docker containers while it backs up to a remote share?

The backup stops the Docker service while it runs. This can affect remote users of Docker apps and may conflict with scheduled tasks such as parity checks.

### What should I do when Appdata Backup says binhex-shared does not exist?

Add binhex-shared to the global exclusions. The backup should then run without the error, and the issue can be ignored if that shared folder is empty.

### Can I configure backup settings for each Docker container?

Yes, the plugin allows backup settings for each Docker container. Flash and VM metadata backup is also included.

### Can Appdata Backup be used if the cache drive fails?

Users use it to back up the AppData folder in case the cache drive fails. The source does not provide a direct manual method.
