-# MinIO
+# Containerized Cloud Backup
+
+In this repository you'll find everything to get your own containerized cloud backup going. We'll make use of:
+- [**Restic**](https://restic.net/), a modern **backup program**
+- [**MinIO**](https://github.com/minio/minio), an [Amazon S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/) compatible object storage, as **backup target**
+- [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) for orchistration
+- cron (in the restic container) to schedule backups
+- scripts to run new and clean up old backups
+- scripts to push metrics for [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/)
+- [MinIO MC](https://github.com/minio/mc) to control MinIO from command line
