+# no data contained in these tables will be dumped. This is very useful
+# to backup databases that have tables with large amounts of cache data that
+# isn't necessary to backup, but you still need the structure to exist
+# on a restore. You *must* specify the table as part of a database, such
+# as "drupal.cache", where the database name is "drupal" and the table that
+# you do not want to dump the data for is called "cache".

 # backupdir = < path/to/destination > (default = /var/backups/mysql)
 # where to dump the backups. hotcopy backups will be in a subdirectory 
 # 'hotcopy' and sqldump backups will be in a subdirectory 'sqldump'
+# This variable is interpolated, see backup.d (5) for which variables are
+# available.

 # hotcopy = < yes | no > (default = no)
 # make a backup of the actual database binary files using mysqlhotcopy.
+# When using hotcopy, backupdir must be a dir inside each vserver! You can use
+# the interpolation feature to do this for multiple vservers by starting
+# backupdir with %v (not /%v), which will be replaced by the current
+# vserver root.

 # sufficient to recontruct the database.

+# 
+# Note that backupninja 0.9.6 and before used "vsname" to run in a single
+# vserver. It also automatically prepended the vserver root directory to
+# backupdir. Newer versions still do this if you're using the deprecated (but
+# still supported) "vsname" variable. To achieve the same effect while using
+# the vsnames variable, prepend backupdir with %v
 # 
 # NB: databases = all doesn't seem to work with hotcopy = yes 
 # when vsname is specified, I would like to know how to fix this.
