How to export DGraph database in a docker container (Windows)

Question

I hope I was terse but specific enough at the title:
What I am trying to do

• To export/backup the entire DGraph database.

Answer 1

• execute docker exec -it <container id> curl localhost:8080/admin/export
• ascertain that the export folder is found under /dgraph
• cp from the dgraph server like so: docker cp <container id>:/dgraph/export .
• locate your database export at your pwd
• rm -rf the export folder in the container.
