+### `mark_daily_backup.sh`
+
+**Purpose:**
+Marks the latest backup as the daily backup.
+
+This script maintains consistency between the two backup tiers: hourly and daily. Hourly backups are created by `backup.sh`, while daily backups are managed by Duplicati.  
+
+To prevent Duplicati from accessing a backup that is still in progress, this script updates an intermediate `daily` marker to point to the most recently completed hourly backup. By the time the scheduled daily job runs, the referenced backup is guaranteed to be complete.

+**Execution**
+- Intended to run automatically on a schedule
+- Typically triggered by a **cron job** or **systemd timer**
+- Must be run from the directory containing `compose.yml`
+- Does not take any arguments
