By default, Redis Server saves snapshots of the data on disk using a binary file called dump.rdb as configured in the default configuration file. The Redis containers we've created so far are not persistent. For example, if the container is removed or stopped all the data saved by the container is lost. Sometimes we would want to have a copy of the database even after the container exits.
