+You should customise both the ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}/sarab.dcf and
+${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}/sarab.conf configuration files to select the backup
+location. Default is "/mnt/backup/".
+
+You should customise ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}/rotation.schedule based on your backup
+requirements. Some example rotation files can be found under
+${PREFIX}/share/examples/sarab.
+
+SaraB backups are usually scheduled and executed by cron. SaraB must be run
+as root, and is generally run with no parameters.
+
+E.g.
+
+crontab -u root -l
+# Daily backups at 3:13 AM
+3 13 * * * ${PREFIX}/bin/sarab
