+#Copy an existing installation over SSH and serve it locally
+Example bash script:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+#Description: Copy a Shaarli installation over SSH/SCP, serve it locally with php-cli
+#Will create a local-shaarli/ directory when you run it, backup your Shaarli there, and serve it locally.
+#Will NOT download linked pages. It's just a directly usable backup/copy/mirror of your Shaarli
+#Requires: ssh, scp and a working SSH access to the server where your Shaarli is installed
+#Usage: ./local-shaarli.sh
