+## Backup a Reso Cert API server
+```bash
+node index.js backup -u <server base url> -p <path to the directory where we want the reports backed up> -d -w
+```
+
+`-d` and`-w` are optional flags that specify whether to 'only backup DD/DA reports (`-d`)' or to 'only backup webAPI reports (`-w`)'. Omitting/Including both will back up everything.
+
+### Example usage:
+
+```bash
+reso-certification-utils backup -u http://localhost -p ~/Downloads

+## Restore from a server backup
+```bash
+reso-certification-utils  restore -u <server base url> -p <path to the server backup directory> --restoreFromBackup

+
+The `--restoreFromBackup` or `-r` flag tells the tool to restore from the backed-up server data rather than raw reports.

+reso-certification-utils  restore -u http://localhost -p ~/Downloads/reso-server-backup/data_dictionary-1.7 -r

+## Run a transformation on all reports of a given cert API server
+```bash
+node index.js transform -u <server base url> -p <path to the directory where we want the reports backed up> -r -b -e
+```
+
+The `-b` or `--backup` flag creates a backup of all the DD/DA reports from the given server before starting the transformation.
+
+The `-p` or `--pathToBackup` option is required when using the backup flag.
+
+The `-r` or `--rescore` flag is a transformation that adjusts the EMPTY_LIST/NULL_VALUE counts, rescores the report, and posts them back to the cert API server.
+
+The `-e` or `--runEtl` flag is another transformation that takes in a DA report, converts it to raw form, and runs the ETL method on the report. This transformation will always be run last if more than one transformation is provided.
+
+__Note:__ It is advisable to always create a backup before running any transformations.
+
+### Example usage
+
+```bash
+node index.js transform -u http://localhost -r -e -b -p ~/Documents
+```
