 ### Offsite Backups

+Presently supports backing up to a remote SFTP location or to Joyent's Manta
+Object Store. By default it assumes that you are using a SFTP location which
+enables you to use rsync to upload the files.  If you use Joyent's Manta
+Object Store, the assumptions are that you are placing the backups under your
+/$USERNAME/stor/backups/ directory which is configurable and that you will be
+storing two copies of the object in Joyent's Manta.  To upload to manta it
+requires that you have the manta and manta-sync node.js packages installed.

+#### Joyent Manta Object Store
+
+When using the Joyent Manta Object Store, it assumes that you have the following
+options in your configuration file:
+
+```
+MANTA_KEY_ID=your-ssh-key-id
+MANTA_URL=https://us-east.manta.joyent.com
+MANTA_USER=username
+```
+
+You can obtain your SSH key's fingerprint you use for Manta by running:
+
+```
+ssh-keygen -l -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa-manta.pub
+```
+
+And change the id_rsa-manta.pub with your public key's filename.
