 **Features:**
 
 - **Smart backup workflow**: Creates → Copies to shared storage → Uploads to B2 → Cleans up locally
+- **Configurable Storage**: Support for custom shared storage paths via `.env`
+- **Robust B2 Support**: Automatically detects system-installed `b2` CLI or local binary
 - Command-line options for flexible operation (--help, --dry-run, --no-upload, --verbose)
 - Dry-run mode to preview operations without executing
 - Option to skip B2 upload for local-only backups

+- **Safety Checks**: Verifies mount points and storage availability before writing
 - **Local cleanup**: Removes temporary files after successful copy to shared storage
 - Automatic container pausing/resuming during backup
 - Comprehensive error handling and cleanup
