> A LXC container is like a virtual machine but it shares the kernel with the host server. While a docker container is single application oriented and its OS can be trimmed down to a very basic setup, e.g a Docker container can be started from a python image instead of an Ubuntu image, and only install the requited software for compiling and running a project. So LXC has a complete file system that supports a lot of I/O data operations and runs applications and services within one container - e.g wordpress and mysql.

A simple tool for backups is [rsync](https://rsync.samba.org/) that copies files from a host to another, and which files can be archived or not, and checks if a file has been modified, or is removed or created, and updates the backup target repository accordingly. But it doesn't create snapshots and thus we cannot access the state of a system's files of a specific date in the past. Dedicated backup tools create snapshots and retain a history of the changes, so we can choose what version to restore. However we need to keep track of the backup's disk storage and remove older snapshots on a regular basis.
