 ## Features
 
-  - **Client-Side Encryption**: All data is encrypted on your server *before* being uploaded, ensuring zero-knowledge privacy from the storage provider.
-  - **Deduplication & Compression**: Saves significant storage space by only storing unique data blocks and applying compression.
-  - **Snapshot-Based Backups**: Creates point-in-time snapshots, allowing you to easily browse and restore files from any backup date.
-  - **Advanced Retention Policies**: Sophisticated rules to automatically keep daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly snapshots.
-  - **Unified Configuration**: All settings are managed in a single, easy-to-edit `restic-backup.conf` file.
-  - **Notification Support**: Sends detailed success, warning, or failure notifications to ntfy and/or Discord.
-  - **System Friendly**: Uses `nice` and `ionice` to minimize CPU and I/O impact during backups.
-  - **Multiple Operation Modes**: Supports standard backups, dry runs, integrity checks, difference summaries, and a safe, interactive restore mode. 
-  - **Concurrency Control & Logging**: Prevents multiple instances from running simultaneously and handles its own log rotation.
-  - **Pre-run Validation**: Performs checks for required commands and repository connectivity before execution.
-  - **Cron Job Monitoring**: Optional integration with [Healthchecks.io](https://healthchecks.io) for alerts if a backup job fails to run on schedule.

-  - **Exit Code `1`:** A fatal configuration error, such as a missing `restic-backup.conf` file or required variable.
-  - **Exit Code `5`:** Lock contention; another instance of the script is already running.
-  - **Exit Code `10`:** A required command (like `restic` or `curl`) is not installed.
-  - **Exit Code `11`:** The `RESTIC_PASSWORD_FILE` cannot be found.
-  - **Exit Code `12`:** The script cannot connect to or access the Restic repository.
-  - **Exit Code `13`:** A source directory in `BACKUP_SOURCES` does not exist or is not readable.
-  - **Exit Code `14`:** The `EXCLUDE_FILE` is not readable.

+
+### Configuration (`restic-backup.conf`)
+
+All script behavior is controlled by the `restic-backup.conf` file. Below is an overview of the key settings available.
+
+#### Core Settings
+
+- `RESTIC_REPOSITORY`: The connection string for your remote storage.
+- `RESTIC_PASSWORD_FILE`: The absolute path to the file containing your repository's encryption password.
+- `BACKUP_SOURCES`: A list of local directories to back up. Use Bash array syntax `("/path/one" "/path/two")` to handle spaces correctly.
+
+#### Retention Policy
+
+You can define how many snapshots to keep for various timeframes. The script will automatically remove older snapshots that fall outside these rules.
+
+- `KEEP_LAST`: Number of the most recent snapshots to keep.
+- `KEEP_DAILY`: Number of daily snapshots to keep.
+- `KEEP_WEEKLY`: Number of weekly snapshots to keep.
+- `KEEP_MONTHLY`: Number of monthly snapshots to keep.
+- `KEEP_YEARLY`: Number of yearly snapshots to keep.
+
+#### Notifications
+
+The script can send detailed status notifications to multiple services. Each can be enabled or disabled individually.
+
+- `NTFY_ENABLED`: Set to `true` to enable ntfy notifications.
+- `DISCORD_ENABLED`: Set to `true` to enable Discord notifications.
+- `SLACK_ENABLED`: Set to `true` to enable Slack notifications.
+- `TEAMS_ENABLED`: Set to `true` to enable Microsoft Teams notifications.
+- You must also provide the corresponding `_URL` and `_TOKEN` for each service you enable.
+
+#### Exclusions
+
+You have two ways to exclude files and directories from your backups:
+
+1. **`EXCLUDE_FILE`**: Point this to a text file (like `restic-excludes.txt`) containing one exclusion pattern per line.
+2. **`EXCLUDE_PATTERNS`**: A space-separated list of patterns to exclude directly in the configuration file (e.g., `*.tmp *.log`).
+
+#### Performance and Maintenance
+
+- `LOW_PRIORITY`: Set to `true` to run the backup with lower CPU (`nice`) and I/O (`ionice`) priority, minimizing impact on other services.
+- `CHECK_AFTER_BACKUP`: Set to `true` to automatically run a repository integrity check after each successful backup.
+- `PRUNE_AFTER_FORGET`: Set to `true` to automatically prune the repository after applying the retention policy, which frees up storage space.
+

 Before the first backup, you need to create the repository password file and initialize the remote repository.
