   Data volumes are designed to persist data, independent of the container’s life cycle. Docker therefore never automatically delete volumes when you remove a container, nor will it “garbage collect” ​    ​volumes that are no longer referenced by a container.   Data volumes are designed to persist data, independent of the container’s life cycle.

 Volumes types: Volumes types:
-  * local storage (original image data located in specified directory ​ are copied to volume during creation) +  * Anonymous Volume: any volume without a source, docker will create this as a local volume with a long unique id, and it behaves as a named volume 
-  * bind-mounted host (original image data are **not copied**)+  * Named Volume - local storage (original image data located in specified directory are copied to volume during creation) 
 +    * **local** driver is using ''/​var/​lib/​docker/​volumes''​ for storage 
 +    * original image data **is copied** if volume is empty.  
 +    * All UID/GIDs are correctly set 
 +    * user has to take care about free space at ''/​var/​lib/​docker/​volumes''​ 
 +  * Host volume: ​bind-mounted host 
 +    * original image data are **not copied** 
 +    * fastest - no volume driver is used 
 +    * possible problem with UID/GID permisions 
 +    * volume can be created on any location (different discs, etc)
   * volume plugins   * volume plugins
