-If you are backing up a new project, you will want to select **Full Backup** on the form above. If you hit **Incremental** this is also fine.
+In most cases, **Incremental** backup is the correct choice. You should use **Full Backup** only in certain specific circumstances.
+To backup a new project, select **Incremental** on the form above.
   * //Since this is a new project there are no old files that need to be overwritten, so hitting **Incremental** just means that it will run a regular full backup in this instance.//\\
-If you are backing up updated or changed files on an existing project then you should select **Incremental**. Depending on the size of your project, running incremental backups make more sense as they take far less time to backup the updated files.

+==== Backing up CATS Files using the Command Line ====
+In order to backup straight from the command line, you must enter the directory of where your backup file is located. Next you will have to type in **:Q** which means the backup won't ask you what to do, it will simply run the backup; while **:P** specifies the project you are backing up. After entering those two, type in the name of the project you have backed up previously.
+In this example, **AzureBackup.exe** is located in **C:\CATS\AwsBackup\AzureBackup.exe**. Press space and type in **:Q**, press space again and type in **:P**, than one more space and specify the name you assigned your backup when entering the information in the backup manager. In this case ours is called **Test**.\\
+Once you click enter, the backup will initialize and your files will be updated.\\
