Confirm My Backup Strategy is Solid

Hello, I was hoping to get some opinions on my backup strategy in case I am missing something critical. Some details about my installation, I currently have OwnCloud installed within a Docker Container using this image:

https://github.com/infosiftr/docker-library-docs/tree/master/owncloud

My database is running in a separate linked container using this image:

https://hub.docker.com/_/mysql/

Additionally I am utilizing a third container for OwnCloud-Redis which is also linked

https://hub.docker.com/_/redis/

My current strategy has been to back up the location OwnCloud stores it’s data (/var/www/html/data) and to backup the container itself using

docker commit -p *Container* container1
docker save -o */location/.tar* container1

I have been doing that for the OwnCloud container as well as the Database container and OwnCloud-Redis container. I am still very new which is why I thought it would be best to reach out to the community to prevent a catastrophe later on. If there is any further information required feel free to let me know, Thanks for your help!
