+Incremental backup tool using rclone.
+
+## Usage
+
+To backup a directory, simply run it like so:
+
+```shell
+./goblin-store backup -s <SOURCE_DIRECTORY> -d <DESTINATION_DIRECTORY>
+```
+
+Breaking down the above:
+
+* `./goblin-store` - running the app binary
+* `backup` - call the **backup** command
+* `-s <SOURCE_DIRECTORY>` - the directory you'd wish to backup (REQUIRED)
+* `-d <DESTINATION_DIRECTORY>` - the directory you'd wish to store the backups in (REQUIRED)
+
+You may modify the behavior with these additional flags:
+
+* `-w <NUMBER>` - the number of worker threads to use to backup (default is **4**)
+* `-v` - enable verbose console logging
