								## Docker save
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`docker save` stores a Docker image to a tar archive. It is useful to make an offline backup of an image or transfer an image to a computer in a corporate environment which does not have a direct access to the Internet.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								For example, to save the nginx image already in local computer to a file named `nginx-backup.tar`, the following command can be run:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								docker save -o nginx-backup.tar nginx
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Or with a specific version:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								docker save -o nginx-backup.tar nginx:1.15.5
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
|
