 - `INIT_RESTORE_LATEST`: If set, restores latest backup.
 - `TIMEOUT`: Wait a given number of seconds for the database to be ready and make the first backup, `10s` by default. After that time, the initial attempt for backup gives up and only the Cron job will try to make a backup.
 - `GZIP_LEVEL`: Specify the level of gzip compression from 1 (quickest, least compressed) to 9 (slowest, most compressed), default is 6.
+- `USE_PLAIN_SQL`: If set, back up and restore plain SQL files without gzip.
 - `TZ`: Specify TIMEZONE in Container. E.g. "Europe/Berlin". Default is UTC.
 
 If you want to make this image the perfect companion of your MySQL container, use [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/). You can add more services that will be able to connect to the MySQL image using the name `my_mariadb`, note that you only expose the port `3306` internally to the servers and not to the host:
