# Docker Volume Backup Script
#
# This script is designed to back up Docker volumes to a specified directory. 
# It checks if each volume is empty before attempting to back it up and creates 
# compressed .tar.bz2 backup files for non-empty volumes.
#
#  Prerequisites
#
#    Docker: Ensure Docker is installed and running on your system.
#    Bash: This script is written in Bash and should be run in a Bash-compatible shell.
#    Backup Directory: Ensure the backup directory specified in the script exists or is writable.
#
#Script Overview
#
#The script performs the following tasks:
#
#    Defines Variables:
#        BACKUP_DIR: The directory where backup files will be stored.
#        TIMESTAMP: A timestamp used to uniquely identify backup files.
#        VOLUMES: An array of Docker volume names to back up.
#
#    Checks for Empty Volumes:
#        The script uses a temporary Docker container to check if a volume is empty. If a volume is empty, it skips the backup for that volume.
#
#    Backs Up Volumes:
#        For each non-empty volume, the script creates a compressed .tar.bz2 backup file in the specified backup directory.
#        The backup is performed using the loomchild/volume-backup Docker image.
#
#    Verifies Backup Success:
#        After each backup, the script checks if the backup was successful. If any backup fails, the script exits with an error.
#
#    Outputs Status:
#        The script provides status messages for each step, including skipped volumes, successful backups, and any errors encountered.
