This service will periodically backup your database.

Then start your database Your database should be initialized and started in a docker image using the '.yml' file located in 'src/main/docker'.

sudo docker-compose -f <database-name>.yml up

If the database failed to start, you should check if the port is free (for example 'sudo service mysql stop' to stop the default mysql service).
