Thank you for saving my life.

Backup (i.e. core of the script above):

export VOLUME_NAME=flux_miniflux-db
export BACKUP_PATH=/srv/miniflux/backup
docker run --rm --volume $VOLUME_NAME:/data \
    -v $BACKUP_PATH:/backup ubuntu \
    tar -zcvf /backup/$VOLUME_NAME.tar /data

Restore (tested):

# cd into directory with volume as *tar
export VOLUME_NAME=flux_miniflux-db
docker run --rm  \
    --volume $VOLUME_NAME:/dbdata \
    --volume $(pwd):/backup ubuntu  \
    tar xvf /backup/$VOLUME_NAME.tar -C /dbdata --strip 1

Afterwards, check with

docker volume ls
>DRIVER    VOLUME NAME
>local     flux_miniflux-db
