 ## Persisting your application
 
-If you remove every container and volume all your data will be lost, and the next time you run the image the application will be reinitialized. To avoid this loss of data, you should mount a volume that will persist even after the container is removed. If you are using docker-compose your data will be persistent as long as you don't remove `mongodb_data` and `application_data` data volumes.

+
+For persistence of the Parse deployment, the above examples define docker volumes namely `mongodb_data` and `parse_data`. The Parse application state will persist as long as these volumes are not removed.
+
+To avoid inadvertent removal of these volumes you can [mount host directories as data volumes](https://docs.docker.com/engine/tutorials/dockervolumes/). Alternatively you can make use of volume plugins to host the volume data.
 
 > **Note!** If you have already started using your application, follow the steps on [backing](#backing-up-your-application) up to pull the data from your running container down to your host.

 In this case you need to specify the directories to mount on the run command. The process is the same than the one previously shown:
 
-1. If you haven't done this before, create a new network for the application and the database:
+1. Create a network (if it does not exist):
 
   ```
-  $ docker network create parse_network
