+UPGRADING FROM 0.2
+Sorry for breaking things here, but it's all in the name of naming consistency...
+- Config folder is moved from /etc/vbox to /etc/vboxtool. Rename this folder.
+- Main script 'vbox' is renamed to 'vboxtool'
+USAGE
+After installation, type 'vboxtool help' for more info.
+KNOWN ISSUES
+- Backup is not working as expected when using snapshots. When a snapshot is
+  present, the main vdi file is not copied, even if it's different from
+  previous backups. Problem is that once a snapshot is made, the main vdi
+  (according to info from 'VBoxManage showvminfo') is pointing to the snapshot
+  vdi instead of the expected, chained main vdi in the vdi folder.
+  (Tracker #2132265)
+MORE HELP
+- Type: 'vboxtool help'
