-Many of these don't need to be edited, but here are the ones you might want to change:
+First, we will want to decide on a backup location and edit the ```volumes:``` section You will need the full path to the folder you want backups stored in. On a QNAP NAS for example, if I wanted to use a folder called "Backups" inside a shared folder named "Videos", the path would be ```/shares/Videos/Backups/```, and my ```volumes:``` section would look like this:
+```yaml
+volumes:
+      - "/shares/Videos/Backups:/backups"
+```
+ On Ubuntu, if I wanted to use a folder named "Backups" in the home directory of the user named "johndoe", the path would be ```/home/johndoe/Backups/```, and my ```volumes:``` section would look like this:
+```yaml
+volumes:
+      - "/home/johndoe/Backups:/backups"
+```
+
+

+There are also some variables in the environment section. Many of these don't need to be edited, but here are the ones you might want to change:
 | Environment Variable  |Meaning|
 |---|---|
 | POSTGRES_DB | This is the name of the database from the previous step. Can also be a comma/space separated list of database names if you create more in the future |
