+# Replace deprecated `BACKUP_STOP_CONTAINER_LABEL` setting
+
+Version `v2.36.0` deprecated the `BACKUP_STOP_CONTAINER_LABEL` setting and renamed it `BACKUP_STOP_DURING_BACKUP_LABEL` which is supposed to signal that this will stop both containers _and_ services.
+Migrating is done by renaming the key for your custom value:
+
+```diff
+    env:
+-     BACKUP_STOP_CONTAINER_LABEL: database
++     BACKUP_STOP_DURING_BACKUP_LABEL: database
+```
+
+The old key will stay supported until the next major version, but logs a warning each time a backup is taken.
