+### Using export-filename
+
+Normally, `backtesting-analysis` uses the latest backtest results, but if you wanted to go
+back to a previous backtest output, you need to supply the `--export-filename` option.
+You can supply the same parameter to `backtest-analysis` with the name of the final backtest
+output file. This allows you to keep historical versions of backtest results and reanalyse
+them at a later date:
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade backtesting -c <config.json> --timeframe <tf> --strategy <strategy_name> --timerange=<timerange> --export=signals --export-filename=/tmp/mystrat_backtest.json
+```
+
+You should see some output similar to below in the logs with the name of the timestamped
+filename that was exported:
+
+```

+```
+
+You can then use that filename in `backtesting-analysis`:
+
+```
+freqtrade backtesting-analysis -c <config.json> --export-filename=/tmp/mystrat_backtest-2022-06-14_16-28-32.json
