 # Borgend
 
-This is a retrying scheduler as well as a MacOS tray icon for [BorgBackup](https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/).
+This is a retrying and queuing scheduler as well as a MacOS tray icon for [BorgBackup](https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/).
 If you are not on MacOS, no tray icon will be displayed, but you can still use Borgend as a retrying scheduler.
 
+You can have multiple backups to the same repository, for example, you may
+backup a small subset of your files every couple of hours, and everything
+once a day or once a week. Borgend will ensure that only once backup is
+launched at a time, and queue the other one until the repository is
+available. If there was an error, such as when you are offline and backup up
+to a remote ssh location, Borgend will also retry the backup at set shorter intervals.
