Email flows.json as a backup

I have installed Node-RED v1.1.3 using Docker and data is stored in /data

so my flows.json is stored in /data/flows.json

You have two options to take backup.

1. You can save JSON object to your DB
2. Email file (flows.json) to your personal email

I hope this will help you guys to backup your flows.json

Cheers,
