# Bash script for creating backups of Nextcloud.
-# Usage: ./NextcloudBackup.sh
+# 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)
#
# The script is based on an installation of Nextcloud using nginx and MariaDB, see https://decatec.de/home-server/nextcloud-auf-ubuntu-server-18-04-lts-mit-nginx-mariadb-php-lets-encrypt-redis-und-fail2ban/
