+# version: 1.0

+# changelog
+# version: 1.0
+#   date: 2020-04-26
+
+# this script is basically
+#   files-backup-without-uploads.sh script + part of db-backup.sh script
+#   from files-backup-without-uploads.sh script, we do not exclude uploads directory - just removed the line from it
+
+### Variables ###
+
+# a passphrase for encryption, in order to being able to use almost any special characters use ""
+PASSPHRASE=
+
+# auto delete older backups after certain number days - default 30. YMMV
+AUTODELETEAFTER=90
+
+# the script assumes your sites are stored like ~/sites/example.com, ~/sites/example.net, ~/sites/example.org and so on.
+# if you have a different pattern, such as ~/app/example.com, please change the following to fit the server environment!
+SITES_PATH=${HOME}/sites
+
+# if WP is in a sub-directory, please leave this empty!
+PUBLIC_DIR=public
