+curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CupCakeArmy/autorestic/master/install.sh | bash
 ```
+
+## 🚀 Quickstart
+
+### Setup
+
+First we need to configure our locations and backends. Simply create a `.autorestic.yml` either in your home directory of in the folder from which you will execute `autorestic`.
+
+Optionally you can specify the location of your config file by passing it as argument: `autorestic -c ../path/config.yml`
+
+```yaml
+locations:
+  home:
+    from: /home/me
+    to: remote
+
+  important:
+    from: /path/to/important/stuff
+    to:
+      - remote
+      - hdd
+
+backends:
+  remote:
+    type: b2
+    path: 'myBucket:backup/home'
+    B2_ACCOUNT_ID: account_id
+    B2_ACCOUNT_KEY: account_key
+
+  hdd:
+    type: local
+    path: /mnt/my_external_storage
+```
+
+Then we check if everything is correct by running the `check` command. We will pass the `-a` (or `--all`) to tell autorestic to check all the locations.
+
+If we would check only one location we could run the following: `autorestic check -l home`. Otherwise simpply check all locations with `autorestic check -a`
+
+##### Note
+
+Note that the data is automatically encrypted on the server. The key will be generated and added to your config file. Every backend will have a separate key. You should keep a copy of the keys somewhere in case your server dies. Otherwise DATA IS LOST!
+
+### 📦 Backup
+
+```
+autorestic backup -a
+```
+
+### 📼 Restore
+
+```
+autorestic restore -l home --from hdd --to /path/where/to/restore
+```
+
+### 📲 Updates
+
+Autorestic can update itself! Super handy right? Simply run `autorestic update` and we will check for you if there are updates for restic and autorestic and install them if necessary.
+
+## 🗂 Locations
+
+A location simply a folder on your machine that restic will backup. The paths can be relative from the config file. A location can have multiple backends, so that the data is secured across multiple servers.
+
+```yaml
+locations:
+  my-location-name:
+    from: path/to/backup
+    to:
+      - name-of-backend
+      - also-backup-to-this-backend
+```
+
+#### Pruning and snapshot policies
+
+Autorestic supports declaring snapshot policies for location to avoid keeping old snapshot around if you don't need them.
+
+This is based on [Restic's snapshots policies](https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/060_forget.html#removing-snapshots-according-to-a-policy), and can be enabled for each location as shown below:
+
+```yaml
+locations:
+  etc:
+    from: /etc
+    to: local
+    options:
+      forget:
+        keep-last: 5             # always keep at least 5 snapshots
+        keep-hourly: 3           # keep 3 last hourly shapshots
+        keep-daily: 4            # keep 4 last daily shapshots
+        keep-weekly: 1           # keep 1 last weekly shapshots
+        keep-monthly: 12         # keep 12 last monthly shapshots
+        keep-yearly: 7           # keep 7 last yearly shapshots
+        keep-within: "2w"        # keep snapshots from the last 2 weeks
+```
+
+Pruning can be triggered using `autorestic forget -a`, for all locations, or selectively with `autorestic forget -l <location>`. **please note that contrary to the restic CLI, `restic forget` will call `restic prune` internally.**
+
+Run with the `--dry-run` flag to only print information about the process without actually pruning the snapshots. This is especially useful for debugging or testing policies:
+```
+$ autorestic forget -a --dry-run --verbose
+
+Configuring Backends
+local : Done ✓
+
+Removing old shapshots according to policy
+etc ▶ local : Removing old spnapshots… ⏳
+etc ▶ local : Running in dry-run mode, not touching data
+etc ▶ local : Forgeting old snapshots… ⏳Applying Policy: all snapshots within 2d of the newest
+keep 3 snapshots:
+ID        Time                 Host        Tags        Reasons    Paths
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

+51659674  2019-12-02 12:08:46  computer                within 2w  /etc
+f8f8f976  2019-12-02 12:11:08  computer                within 2w  /etc
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+3 snapshots
+```
+
+#### Excluding files/folders
+
+If you want to exclude certain files or folders it done easily by specifiyng the right flags in the location you desire to filter. The flags are taken straight from the [restic cli exclude rules](https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/040_backup.html#excluding-files).
+
+```yaml
+locations:
+  my-location:
+    from: /data
+    to:
+      - local
+      - remote
+    options:
+      backup:
+        exclude:
+          - '*.nope'
+          - '*.abc'
+        exclude-file: .gitignore
+
+backends:
+  local:
+    ...
+   remote:
+    ...
+```
+
+#### Before / After hooks
+
+Sometimes you might want to stop an app/db before backing up data and start the service again after the backup has completed. This is what the hooks are made for. Simply add them to your location config. You can have as many commands as you wish.
+
+```yaml
+locations:
+  my-location:
+    from: /data
+    to:
+      - local
+      - remote
+    hooks:
+      before:
+        - echo "Hello"
+        - echo "Human"
+      after:
+        - echo "kthxbye"
+```
+
+## 💽 Backends
+
+Backends are the place where you data will be saved. Backups are incremental and encrypted.
+
+### Fields
+
+##### `type`
+
+Type of the backend see a list [here](https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/030_preparing_a_new_repo.html)
+
+Supported are:
+- [Local](https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/030_preparing_a_new_repo.html#local)
+- [Backblaze B2](https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/030_preparing_a_new_repo.html#backblaze-b2)
+- [Amazon S3](https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/030_preparing_a_new_repo.html#amazon-s3)
+- [Minio](https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/030_preparing_a_new_repo.html#minio-server)
+- [Google Cloud Storage](https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/030_preparing_a_new_repo.html#google-cloud-storage)
+- [Microsoft Azure Storage](https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/030_preparing_a_new_repo.html#microsoft-azure-blob-storage)
+
+For each backend you need to specify the right variables as shown in the example below.
+
+##### `path`
+
+The path on the remote server.
+For object storages as
+
+##### Example
+
+```yaml
+backends:
+  name-of-backend:
+    type: b2
+    path: 'myAccount:myBucket/my/path'
+    B2_ACCOUNT_ID: backblaze_account_id
+    B2_ACCOUNT_KEY: backblaze_account_key
+```
+
+## 👉 Commands
+
+* [info](#info)
+* [check](#check)
+* [backup](#backup)
+* [forget](#forget)
+* [restore](#restore)
+* [exec](#exec)
+* [intall](#install)
+* [uninstall](#uninstall)
+* [upgrade](#upgrade)
+
+
+### Info
+
+```
+autorestic info
+```
+
+Shows all the information in the config file. Usefull for a quick overview of what location backups where.
+
+Pro tip: if it gets a bit long you can read it more easily with `autorestic info | less` 😉
+
+### Check
+
+```
+autorestic check [-b, --backend]  [-a, --all]
+```
+
+Checks the backends and configures them if needed. Can be applied to all with the `-a` flag or by specifying one or more backends with the `-b` or `--backend` flag.
+
+
+### Backup
+
+```
+autorestic backup [-l, --location] [-a, --all]
+```
+
+Performes a backup of all locations if the `-a` flag is passed. To only backup some locations pass one or more `-l` or `--location` flags.
+
+
+### Restore
+
+```
+autorestic restore [-l, --location] [--from backend] [--to <out dir>]
+```
+
+This will restore all the locations to the selected target. If for one location there are more than one backends specified autorestic will take the first one.
+
+Lets see a more realistic example (from the config above)
+```
+autorestic restore -l home --from hdd --to /path/where/to/restore
+```
+
+This will restore the location `home` to the `/path/where/to/restore` folder and taking the data from the backend `hdd`
+
+### Forget
+
+
+```
+autorestic forget [-l, --location] [-a, --all] [--dry-run]
+```
+
+This will prune and remove old data form the backends according to the [keep policy you have specified for the location](#pruning-and-snapshot-policies)
+
+The `--dry-run` flag will do a dry run showing what would have been deleted, but won't touch the actual data.
+
+
+### Exec
+
+```
+autorestic exec [-b, --backend]  [-a, --all] <command> -- [native options]
+```
+
+This is avery handy command which enables you to run any native restic command on desired backends. An example would be listing all the snapshots of all your backends:
+
+```
+autorestic exec -a -- snapshots
+```
+
+#### Install
+
+Installs both restic and autorestic
+
+#### Uninstall 
+
+Uninstall both restic and autorestic
+
+#### Upgrade
+
+Upgrades both restic and autorestic automagically
+
+## 🐣 Examples
+
+### List all the snapshots for all the backends
+
+```
+autorestic -a exec snapshots
+```
+
+### Unlock a locked repository
+
+⚠️ Only do this if you know what you are doing. E.g. if you accidentally cancelled a running operation
+
+```
+autorestic -b my-backend exec unlock
+```
