+La tâche backup va permettre de sauvegarder les applications Yunohost ainsi que leurs données grâce à la mise en place d'une tâche cron.
+- `ynh_apps_backup.scheduled` : Pour activer la fonctionnalité de sauvegarde des applications Yunohost, mettez la valeur à `true`.
+- `ynh_apps_backup.directory` : Le dossier de sauvegarde par défaut est `/home/yunohost.backup/archives` cependant vous pouvez tout à fait choisir de sauvegarder les backups dans un autre dossier grâce à cette variable. Dans ce cas, de manière à pouvoir restaurer les backups depuis l'interface web, Yunohost créé automatiquement un lien symbolique de l'archive créée vers son dossier par défaut.
+- `ynh_apps_backup.scheduled_hour/minute/weekday/month`: Permet de modifier quand la tâche cron se déclenche. Par défaut elle se déclenchera tous les jours de l'année à 1 heure du matin. Pour plus d'informations concernant les réglages horaires cron, cet outil peut être utile : https://crontab.guru/.

+The backup task will allow to backup Yunohost applications and their data by setting up a cron job.
+- `ynh_apps_backup.scheduled`: To enable the Yunohost applications backup feature, set the value to `true`.
+- `ynh_apps_backup.directory`: The default backup folder is `/home/yunohost.backup/archives` however you can choose to save the backups in another folder with this variable. In this case, in order to be able to restore the backups from the web interface, Yunohost automatically creates a symbolic link from the created archive to its default folder.
+- `ynh_apps_backup.scheduled_hour/minute/weekday/month`: Allows you to change when the cron job is triggered. By default it will run every day of the year at 1am. For more information about cron time settings, this tool can be useful: https://crontab.guru/.
