# Docker Save and Restore Images

Use this to save and load images from local disk. It is faster and more efficient
than network loading. Caveat, the images can become outdated.

## Pull Image

```bash
docker pull gradle:4.7.0-jdk8
```

## Save Image

```bash
docker save gradle:4.7.0-jdk8 | gzip -c > gradle_470jdk8.dockerimage.tgz
```

## Restore/Load Image

```bash
zcat gradle_470jdk8.dockerimage.tgz | docker load
```
