 The backup will be saved into your network folders `backup` folder in a new folder with the date and time.
+
+#### Multiple Networks Backup
+
+In order to save several network backups locally, you must define the configuration names of all networks in `.env`. The template for this is `deployment/.env.dist`:
+
+```bash
+# in the deployment folders '.env' set as example
+BACKUP_CONFIGURATIONS="stage.ocelot.social stage.wir.social"
+BACKUP_SAVED_BACKUPS_NUMBER=7
+```
+
+If `BACKUP_SAVED_BACKUPS_NUMBER <= 0` then no backups will be deleted.
+
+To actually save all the backups run:
+
+```bash
+# in deployment folder
+
+# save all backups listed in 'BACKUP_CONFIGURATIONS'
+# delete all backups older then the 'BACKUP_SAVED_BACKUPS_NUMBER' newest ones
+$ scripts/clusters.backup-multiple-servers.sh
+```
+
+The backups will be saved into your networks folders `backup` folder in a new folder with the date and time.
+
+#### Automated Backups
+
+⚠️ *Attention: Please check carefully whether really the oldest backups have been deleted. As shells on different systems behave differently with regard to the commands used in this script.*
+
+Install automated backups by a [cron job](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron).
+Be aware of having the bash shell installed to run the script.
+The environment variables for the automated backups are described above.
+
+Installing a cron job by editing the cron table file:
+
+```bash
+# edit cron job table
+$ crontab -e
+```
+
+In the editor add the line:
+
+```bash
+# in cron job table file
+
+# set a cron job every night at 04am server time
+# min   hour    day     month   weekday command
+00      04      *       *       *       /root/Ocelot-Social/deployment/scripts/clusters.backup-multiple-servers.sh >> /root/Ocelot-Social/deployment/backup-cron-job.log
+```
+
+This way the terminal output is written into a log file named `backup-cron-job.log` located in the deployment folder.
+
+Be aware that the server datetime can differ from your local time.
+Especially by the change between summer and winter time, because servers usually have UTC.
+Find out the actual difference by running the command `date` on your server.
