+## Overview
 
-You can view the list of released versions over at [RubyGems.org (Backup)](https://rubygems.org/gems/backup/versions)
+Backup allows you to _model_ your backup jobs using a Ruby DSL:
 
+```rb
+Backup::Model.new(:my_backup, 'Description for my_backup') do
+  # ... components here ...
+end
+```
 
-### Getting Started
+The `:my_backup` symbol is the model's `trigger` and used to perform the job:
 
-I recommend you read this README first, and refer to the [wiki pages](https://github.com/meskyanichi/backup/wiki) afterwards. There's also a [Getting Started wiki page](https://github.com/meskyanichi/backup/wiki/Getting-Started).

-What Backup 3 currently supports
---------------------------------
+Backup's _components_ are added to the backup _model_ to define the actions to be performed.  
+All of Backup's components are fully documented in the [Backup Wiki](https://github.com/meskyanichi/backup/wiki).  
+The following is brief overview of the components Backup provides:
 
-Below you find a list of components that Backup currently supports. If you'd like support for components other than the ones listed here, feel free to request them or to fork Backup and add them yourself. Backup is modular and easy to extend.
+### Archives and Databases
 
-### Database Support
+[Archives](https://github.com/meskyanichi/backup/wiki/Archives) create basic `tar` archives. Both **GNU** and **BSD**
+`tar` are supported.  
+[Databases](https://github.com/meskyanichi/backup/wiki/Databases) create backups of one of the following supported databases:
 
 - MySQL
 - PostgreSQL

-### Filesystem Support
+### Compressors and Encryptors
 
-- Files
-- Directories
+Adding a [Compressor](https://github.com/meskyanichi/backup/wiki/Compressors) to your backup will compress all the
+Archives and Database backups within your final archive package.  
+`Gzip`, `Bzip2` and other similar compressors are supported.
 
-[Archive Wiki Page](https://github.com/meskyanichi/backup/wiki/Archives)
+Adding a [Encryptor](https://github.com/meskyanichi/backup/wiki/Encryptors) allows you to encrypt your final backup package.  
+Both `OpenSSL` and `GPG` are supported.
 
-### Storage Locations and Services
+Your final backup _package_ might look something like this:
+
+```text
+$ gpg --decrypt my_backup.tar.gpg --outfile my_backup.tar
+$ tar -tvf my_backup.tar

+
+### Storages
+
+Once your final backup package is ready, you can use any number of the following
+[Storages](https://github.com/meskyanichi/backup/wiki/Storages) to store it:
 
 - Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)
 - Rackspace Cloud Files (Mosso)
 - Ninefold Cloud Storage

-### Brief explanation for the above example configuration
-
-First, it will dump the two Databases (MySQL and MongoDB). The MySQL dump will be piped through the Gzip Compressor into
-`sample_backup/databases/MySQL/my_sample_mysql_db.sql.gz`. The MongoDB dump will be dumped into
-`sample_backup/databases/MongoDB/`, which will then be packaged into `sample_backup/databases/MongoDB-#####.tar.gz`
-(`#####` will be a simple unique identifier, in case multiple dumps are performed.)
-Next, it will create two _tar_ Archives (user\_avatars and logs). Each will be piped through the Gzip Compressor into
-`sample_backup/archives/` as `user_archives.tar.gz` and `logs.tar.gz`.
-Finally, the `sample_backup` directory will be packaged into an uncompressed _tar_ archive, which will be piped through
-the OpenSSL Encryptor to encrypt this final package into `YYYY-MM-DD-hh-mm-ss.sample_backup.tar.enc`. This final
-encrypted archive will then be transfered to your Amazon S3 account. If all goes well, and no exceptions are raised,
-you'll be notified via the Twitter notifier that the backup succeeded. If any warnings were issued or there was an
-exception raised during the backup process, then you'd receive an email in your inbox containing detailed exception
-information, as well as receive a simple Twitter message that something went wrong.
-
-Aside of S3, we have also defined two `SFTP` storage methods, and given them two unique identifiers `Server A` and
-`Server B` to distinguish between the two. With these in place, a copy of the backup will now also be stored on two
-separate servers: `a.my-backup-server.com` and `b.my-backup-server.com`.
-
-As you can see, you can freely mix and match **archives**, **databases**, **compressors**, **encryptors**, **storages**
-and **notifiers** for your backups. You could even specify 4 storage locations if you wanted: Amazon S3, Rackspace Cloud
-Files, Ninefold and Dropbox, it'd then store your packaged backup to 4 separate locations for high redundancy.
-
-Also, notice the `split_into_chunks_of 4000` at the top of the configuration. This tells Backup to split any backups
-that exceed in 4000 MEGABYTES of size in to multiple smaller chunks. Assuming your backup file is 12000 MEGABYTES (12GB)
-in size, then Backup will take the output which was piped from _tar_ into the OpenSSL Compressor and additionally pipe
-that output through the _split_ utility, which will result in 3 chunks of 4000 MEGABYTES with additional file extensions
-of `-aa`, `-ab` and `-ac`. These files will then be individually transfered. This is useful for when you are using
-Amazon S3, Rackspace Cloud Files, or other 3rd party storage services which limit you to "5GB per file" uploads. So with
-this, the backup file size is no longer a constraint.
-
-Additionally we have also defined a **S3 Syncer** ( `sync_with Cloud::S3` ), which does not follow the above process of
-archiving/compression/encryption, but instead will directly sync the whole `videos` and `music` folder structures from
-your machine to your Amazon S3 account. (very efficient and cost-effective since it will only transfer files that were
-added/changed. Additionally, since we flagged it to 'mirror', it'll also remove files from S3 that no longer exist). If
-you simply wanted to sync to a separate backup server that you own, you could also use the RSync syncer for even more
-efficient backups that only transfer the **bytes** of each file that changed.
-
-There are more **archives**, **databases**, **compressors**, **encryptors**, **storages** and **notifiers** than
-displayed in the example, all available components are listed at the top of this README, as well as in the
-[Wiki](https://github.com/meskyanichi/backup/wiki) with more detailed information.
-
-### Running the example
-
-Notice the `Backup::Model.new(:sample_backup, 'A sample backup configuration') do` at the top of the above example. The
-`:sample_backup` is called the **trigger**. This is used to identify the backup procedure/file and initialize it.
-
-``` sh
-backup perform -t [--trigger] sample_backup
-```
+The [Getting Started](https://github.com/meskyanichi/backup/wiki/Getting-Started) page provides a simple
+walk-through to familiarize you with setting up, configuring and running a backup job.
 
-Now it'll run the backup, it's as simple as that.
+## Suggestions, Issues, etc...
 
-### Automatic backups
+If you have any suggestions or problems, please submit an Issue or Pull Request using Backup's
+[Issue Log](https://github.com/meskyanichi/backup/issues).
 
-Since Backup is an easy-to-use command line utility, you should write a crontask to invoke it periodically. I recommend
-using [Whenever](https://github.com/javan/whenever) to manage your crontab. It'll allow you to write to the crontab
-using pure Ruby, and it provides an elegant DSL to do so. Here's an example:
+If you find any errors or omissions in Backup's documentation [Wiki](https://github.com/meskyanichi/backup/wiki),
+please feel free to edit it!
 
-``` rb
-every 6.hours do
-  command "backup perform --trigger sample_backup"
-end
-```
+Backup has seen many improvements over the years thanks to it's
+[Contributors](https://github.com/meskyanichi/backup/contributors), as well as those who have help discuss issues and
+improve the documentation, and looks forward to continuing to provide users with a reliable backup solution.
 
-With this in place, run `whenever --update-crontab backup` to write the equivalent of the above Ruby syntax to the
-crontab in cron-syntax. Cron will now invoke `backup perform --trigger sample_backup` every 6 hours. Check out the
-Whenever project page for more information.

-### Easily run tests against all three Ruby versions
-
-Install [RVM](https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/) and use it to install Ruby 1.9.3, 1.9.2 and 1.8.7.
-
-    rvm get latest && rvm reload
-    rvm install 1.9.3 && rvm install 1.9.2 && rvm install 1.8.7
-
-Once these are installed, go ahead and install all the necessary dependencies.
-
-    cd backup
-    rvm use 1.9.3 && gem install bundler && bundle install
-    rvm use 1.9.2 && gem install bundler && bundle install
-    rvm use 1.8.7 && gem install bundler && bundle install
-
-The Backup gem uses [Guard](https://github.com/guard/guard) along with [Guard::RSpec](https://github.com/guard/guard-rspec) to quickly and easily test Backup's code against all four Rubies. If you've done the above, all you have to do is run:
-
-    bundle exec guard
-
-from Backup's root and that's it. It'll now test against all Ruby versions each time you adjust a file in the `lib` or `spec` directories.
