+As you can see SFTPGo uses two main volumes:
 
 - `/srv/sftpgo` to handle persistent data. The default home directory for SFTP/FTP/WebDAV users is `/srv/sftpgo/data/<username>`. Backups are stored in `/srv/sftpgo/backups`
 - `/var/lib/sftpgo` is the home directory for the sftpgo system user defined inside the container. This is the container working directory too, host keys will be created here when using the default configuration.
 
+If you want to get fine grained control, you can also mount `/srv/sftpgo/data` and `/srv/sftpgo/backups` as separate volumes instead of mounting `/srv/sftpgo`.
+
 ### Configuration
 
 The runtime configuration can be customized via environment variables that you can set passing the `-e` option to the `docker run` command or inside the `environment` section if you are using [docker stack deploy](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/stack_deploy/) or [docker-compose](https://github.com/docker/compose).
