 - **v0.7.5**:
-    - Added new option **BackupForDays**; `-b N` and `-B`:
+    - Added new option **DaysKept**; `-k N` and `-K`:
       - Backup an image before pulling a new version for easy rollback in case of breakage.
       - Removes backed up images older than *N* days.
-      - List currently backed up images with `-B`.

-When the option `BackupForDays` is set **dockcheck** will store the image being updated as a backup, retagged with a different name and removed due to age configured (*BackupForDays*) in a future run.  
+When the option `DaysKept` is set **dockcheck** will store the image being updated as a backup, retagged with a different name and removed due to age configured (*DaysKept*) in a future run.  
 Let's say we're updating `b4bz/homer:latest` - then before replacing the current image it will be retagged with the name `dockcheck/homer:2025-10-26_1132_latest`
 - `dockcheck` as repo name to not interfere with others.
 - `homer` is the image.
 - `2025-10-26_1132` is the time when running the script.
 - `latest` is the tag of the image.
 
-Then if an update breaks, you could restore the image by stopping the container, delete the new image, eg. `docker rmi b4bz/homer:latest`, then retag the backup as latest `docker tag dockcheck/homer:<date>_latest b4bz/homer:latest`.  
+Then if an update breaks you could temporarily roll back to the previoius working state by changing the docker compose image to `image: dockcheck/homer:2025-10-26_1132_latest` and get it up and running again, then continue troubleshooting the breaking update.  
-After that, start the container again (now with the backup image active) and it will be updated as usual next time you run dockcheck or other updates.
 
-The backed up images will be removed if they're older than *BackupForDays* value (passed as `-b N` or set in the `dockcheck.config` with `BackupForDays=N`) and then pruned.  
+The backed up images will be removed if they're older than *DaysKept* value (passed as `-k N` or set in the `dockcheck.config` with `DaysKept=N`) and then pruned.
