Description

Greetings,
I'm running a script that backs up all images on my servers. The script works well. however, some images that I complied from client.images.list fail when I run client.images.get.
How can I test if an image exists before I try to "get" it?

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the mismatch between client.images.list and client.images.get with the reported backup script, then inspect the Docker Engine API behavior for image existence; done means the expected handling is established and covered by an appropriate test or documented resolution.
