+To reset the database before any of these commands, add ``--reset`` to the
+command line after ``web`` and before any other arguments. Conversely, to
+backup the database at any stage, run:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ $ docker exec DATABASECONTAINER /usr/bin/mysqldump -u DATABASEUSER \
+ --password=DATABASEPASSWORD DATABASE > backup.sql
+
+where ``DATABASECONTAINER`` is found by ``docker ps -a`` and the other settings
+are the same as those defined in ``patchwork/settings/dev.py``.
Any local edits to the project files made locally are immediately visible to
the Docker container, and so should be picked up by the Django auto-reloader.
