 ====== Running Sync ======
+TapeTrack Sync can be executed from a command line prompt manually, but as running the Sync is done on a regular schedule, it is best practice to place the commands in a batch file and once correct execution has been verified the batch file can be initiated using Windows Scheduler or similar programs such as Cron.
+Ensure that the batch file executes from the correct Sync directory by either adding the code in the batch file to change directory or specifying in the schedule call to start in the correct directory.
 It is advisable to execute the Sync process first in dump mode, then test mode before running in live mode.
