+# Script: vaultwarden_backup.sh
+# Description: Backs up Vaultwarden (SQLite DB, RSA keys, attachments, 
+#              sends, and config) to a mounted drive using Vaultwarden's 
+#              native backup command via Docker exec and rsync.
+# Usage:       sudo ./vaultwarden_backup.sh
+# Notes:       Must be run with root/sudo privileges to access Docker socket
+#              and host directories.
