+**preferences**
+    To avoid users accidentally changing the BackUp settings, these settings
+	were not included in the preferences.
+	The BackUp settings need to be adjusted in the mixxx.cfg.
+
+**default**
+    By default, Mixxx makes a BackUp once a day at startup.
+    By default, the last five BackUps are kept.
+
+**settings**
+    [BackUp]
+    BackUpEnabled 1
+    BackUpFrequency daily
+    KeepXBUs 5
+    LastBackUp *
+
+    In the mixxx.cfg is a part [BackUp] containing the settings.
+    BackUpEnabled 1
+    The default '1' enables the backupsystem while 0 disables it.
+
+    BackUpFrequency daily
+    The default 'daily' sets the frequency to 1 BackUp a day,
+    'always' sets the frequency to 'a BackUp on every startup'
+
+    KeepXBUs 5
+    with the default setting of '5', five BackUps are kept, if you have already
+    5 BackUps the oldest will be deleted before Mixxx creates a new one.
+    You can change this value to change the number of kept BackUps.
+    Setting KeepXBUs to '0' will prevent Mixxx from deleting old BackUps,
+    in this case all BackUps will be kept.
+
+    The LastBackup field keeps the date (YYYYMMDD) of the last backup, used to determinate
+    the need of creating a new BackUp if the frequency is set to daily.
+
+**location**
+    On Windows the BackUps are created in the folder in your Documents directory
+    -> <username>/Documents/Mixxx-BackUps
+    On MacOS the BackUps are created in the container of Mixxx
+    -> /Users/>username>/Library/Containers/org.mixxx.mixxx/Data/Documents/Mixxx-BackUps/
+    On Linux the BackUps are created in your home/Documents folder
+    -> /home//Documents/Mixxx-BackUps/
+
+**BackUps on upgrade**
+   When Mixxx is upgraded to a new version a BackUp named 'Upgrade Version xxx'
+   will be created in a subfolder 'Upgrade' in the Mixxx-BackUps folder.
+   These backups will not be automatically deleted.
