Update Docker documentation with backup instructions#267

Conversation
Added notes about removing the .sql file and performing regular backups. In theory not removing that could result in it replacing the new database. I know the backup thing is a repeat but I don't think we can repeat this too many times.

| After the initial run you will want to remove that `.sql` file from the `sql` directory of your unzipped Docker configuration package. | ||
|

| It is also very important you perform regular backups of your ArchivesSpace MySQL database. Follow the steps under the [Backup and recovery](/administration/backup/) section if you need more instructions on how create backups of your MySQL database. |

I think this will be confusing, as the docker configuration package already includes a mechanism for automatic mysql backups: https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/blob/master/docker-compose-prod.yml#L37 that is documented here: https://docs.archivesspace.org/administration/backup/#backups-when-using-the-docker-configuration-package
