Adding a /b backup mode flag to the RoboCopy comands in the 8000 and 1200 docs. Also adding a few more changes to the 1200 to unify the command with the 8000. Should've shipped with this initially.

108108
The following RoboCopy command will recall files from your StorSimple Azure storage to your local StorSimple and then move them over to the Windows Server target folder. The Windows Server will sync it to the Azure file share(s). As the local Windows Server volume gets full, cloud tiering will kick in and tier files that have successfully synced already. Cloud tiering will generate enough space to continue the copy from the StorSimple virtual appliance. Cloud tiering checks once an hour to see what has synced and to free up disk space to reach the 99% volume free space.
