-Hello!
+**NOTE: currently, the script is undergoing some changes!  You should use version 3 (0.3) for the time being until we have all the bugs/kinks sorted out.
 
-Am in the process of preparing this project for some public input -- bear with me while I get everything in order.
+More information about this script avaiable at: http://damontimm.com/code/dt-s3-backup
+
+TO DO:
+
+* Use "--backup" as required option and have script output "--help" when run with no options
+* Fix "--display-config" to show the full array of include/exclude options (not just one)
+* Remove the RESTORE variable from the script and only take it from inputing on the command line (thereby only needing one option "--restore" and merging it with "--restore-to-path" ... this is for simplicities sake
+* Add a README file to the "--backup-this-script" option because, if you are like me, when it is working for so long I forget what to do when it comes time to restore
+* Clean up general formatting of the script and make it pretty

+# ABOUT THIS SCRIPT:
 #
 # This bash script was designed to automate and simplify the remote backup
-# process using duplicity and Amazon S3.  Hopefully, after the script is 
-# configured, you can easily backup, restore, verify and clean without
-# having to remember lots of different command options.
+# process using duplicity and Amazon S3.  Hopefully, after the script is
+# configured, you can easily backup, restore, verify and clean without having
+# to remember lots of different command options.
 #
-# Furthermore, you can even automate the process of saving your script 
-# and the gpg key for your backups in a single password-protected file -- 
-# this way, you know you have everything you need for a restore, 
-# in case your machine goes down.

 #
-# You can run the script from cron with no command-line options 
-# (all options set in the script itself); however, you can also run it 
-# outside of the cron with some variables for more control.
-#
-# --full: forces a full backup (instead of waiting specified number of days
-# --verify: verifies the backup (no cleanup is run)
-# --restore: restores the backup to the directory specified in the script
-# --backup-this-script: let's you backup the script and secret key to the
-#                       current working directory.
