You can do a docker exec & docker cp to backup your data in case you have not used host mounts - 

docker exec -it $CONTAINER_ID bash -c "influxdb backup -database name /opt/data"

Once your data is generated in /opt/data, copy it to the current directory on Docker host - 

docker cp $CONTAINER_ID:/opt/data ./
