+#	Backup Local Dir
+
+Simple script which utilizes [restic](https://restic.net/) to make two backups copies of a local folder. One backup goes to a local restic repo (local folder), and the other goes to a remote server somewhere (consult restic documentation for formatting remote repo URLs).
+
+Technically you can specify anything you want for the local and remote repo flags, in order to use two local or two remote repos, if you wish.
+
+Execute the following for command line arguments:
+```console
+$ ./backup-local-dir --help
+```
+
