Comment on rootless backup or rootless podman volumes?

As your user account, just run something like:
podman volume export VOLUME >backup.tar
Or from another machine, say you want to do a remote backup from your server:
ssh user@host podman volume export VOLUME | zstd -o backup.tar.zstd

Thanks! it was a mounted volume in this case (just beside the location of the compose file), but it’s still good to know!

Ah, in that case you will probably need to go into the container to do the backup. I avoid mounted volumes.
