+# sysbackup-tar.sh: little script to backup your running system into a tar-file
+
+
+## Configuration
+
+# SYSMOUNTS - this array should include all system partitions. If your system for example has
+# /, /boot, /usr and /opt on different partitions it should look like this:
+# SYSMOUNTS=( "/" "/boot" "/usr" "/opt" )
+# Please note: partitions need to be given in correct order, meaning / has always to be the first
+# If you for example have /usr and /usr/local on seperate partitions you will have to give / first,
+# then /usr and last /usr/local
+
+SYSMOUNTS=( "/" "/boot" )
+
+# DOMOUNT - this array should include all partitions that are not mountet by default, like /boot
+# Syntax is the same as for SYSMOUNTS
+
+DOMOUNTS=( "/boot" )
+
+# EXCLUDES - this array contains patterns for files/directories that should not be included in 
+# the backup. An example for this is tmp/*
+
+EXCLUDES=( "tmp/*" "var/cache/pacman/*" )
