 # Bash script for creating backups of Nextcloud.
 #
-# Version 2.2.0
+# Version 2.3.0
+#
+# Requirements:
+#      - pigz (https://zlib.net/pigz/) for using backup compression. If not available, you can use another compression algorithm (e.g. gzip)
+#
+# Supported database systems:
+#      - MySQL/MariaDB
+#      - PostgreSQL
 #
 # Usage:
 #      - With backup directory specified in the script:  ./NextcloudBackup.sh
 #      - With backup directory specified by parameter: ./NextcloudBackup.sh <BackupDirectory> (e.g. ./NextcloudBackup.sh /media/hdd/nextcloud_backup)
 #
