# save
Usage: docker save [OPTIONS] IMAGE [IMAGE...]
Save an image(s) to a tar archive (streamed to STDOUT by default)

-o, --output="" Write to a file, instead of STDOUT
Produces a tarred repository to the standard output stream.
Contains all parent layers, and all tags + versions, or specified `repo:tag`, for
each argument provided.
It is used to create a backup that can then be used with `docker load`
