 See [`docker-compose.yaml`](./docker-compose.yaml) for a complete working example.
 
 - Images are tagged by the major PostgreSQL version supported: `11`, `12`, `13`, `14`, or `15`.
+- To back up multiple databases in a single run, set `DATABASE_NAMES` to a comma- or space-separated list. `DATABASE_NAME` remains available for single database backups.
 - The `SCHEDULE` variable determines backup frequency. See go-cron schedules documentation [here](http://godoc.org/github.com/robfig/cron#hdr-Predefined_schedules). Omit to run the backup immediately and then exit.
 - If `PASSPHRASE` is provided, the backup will be encrypted using GPG.
 - Run `docker exec <container name> sh backup.sh` to trigger a backup ad-hoc.
