+You can run the Backup Container for supported databases separately or in a mixed environment.
 For a mixed environment:
 1) You MUST use the recommended `backup.conf` configuration. 
 2) Within the `backup.conf`, you MUST specify the `DatabaseType` for each listed database.
-3) You will need to create two builds and two deployment configs.  One for a postgres backup container and the other for a mongo backup container.
