+Once you've either cloned this git repo or downloaded the release file, simply copy the files in the *backup* folder to whatever location works for your set up. Remember to protect your *backup.details* file since it contains the password for your backup repo! You may also have to make the script executable:
+
+```bash
+# make a 'script' directory at the root of your partition
+mkdir -p /scripts/backup
+cd /scripts/backup
+# copy backup files
+cp /downloaded/git/repo/backup/* ./
+# make script executable
+chmod +x backup.sh
+# protect your 'details' file
+chmod 600 backup.details
+```
+
+Remember that you can rename the script file to anything you like and the defalt log file will automatically use that name too. If you rename the script file, you should also manually rename the *.details* file to match. Otherwise, you'd have to specify it with the *--details* configuration flag each time you run the script. If you keep the *.details* file named the same as the script, you don't have to specify anything via command line parameters. The same is true if you want to use the *503 error page* function. The script will use any file named *503_backup.html* located in the same directory as the script by default.
