+# Backup with rclone
+- Install `rclone` and `gzip` on your system
+- Create a rclone config file at `~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf`
+- Copy the `backup.sh.example` script into `backups/backup.sh`
+- Make the script executable with `chmod +x backups/backup.sh`
+- Edit the script to match your configuration
+- Setup a cronjob to run it periodically
