+Sometimes you might want to stop an app/db before backing up data and start the service again after the backup has completed. This is what the hooks are made for. Simply add them to your location config. You can have as many commands as you wish.

+### Info
+
+```
+autorestic info
+```
+
+Shows all the information in the config file. Usefull for a quick overview of what location backups where.
+
+Pro tip: if it gets a bit long you can read it more easily with `autorestic info | less` 😉
+
+### Check
+
+```
+autorestic check [-b, --backend]  [-a, --all]
+```
+
+Checks the backends and configures them if needed. Can be applied to all with the `-a` flag or by specifying one or more backends with the `-b` or `--backend` flag.
+
+
+### Backup
+
+```
+autorestic backup [-l, --location] [-a, --all]
+```
+
+Performes a backup of all locations if the `-a` flag is passed. To only backup some locations pass one or more `-l` or `--location` flags.
+
+
+### Restore
+
+```
+autorestic restore [-l, --location] [--from backend] [--to <out dir>]
+```
+
+This will restore all the locations to the selected target. If for one location there are more than one backends specified autorestic will take the first one.
+
+Lets see a more realistic example (from the config above)
+```
+autorestic restore -l home --from hdd --to /path/where/to/restore
+```
+
+This will restore the location `home` to the `/path/where/to/restore` folder and taking the data from the backend `hdd`
+
+### Forget
+
+
+```
+autorestic forget [-l, --location] [-a, --all] [--dry-run]
+```
+
+This will prune and remove old data form the backends according to the [keep policy you have specified for the location](#pruning-and-snapshot-policies)
+
+The `--dry-run` flag will do a dry run showing what would have been deleted, but won't touch the actual data.
+
+
+### Exec
+
+```
+autorestic exec [-b, --backend]  [-a, --all] <command> -- [native options]
+```
+
+This is avery handy command which enables you to run any native restic command on desired backends. An example would be listing all the snapshots of all your backends:
+
+```
+autorestic exec -a -- snapshots
+```
+
+#### Install
+
+Installs both restic and autorestic
+
+#### Uninstall 
+
+Uninstall both restic and autorestic
+
+#### Upgrade
+
+Upgrades both restic and autorestic automagically
+
+## 🐣 Examples
+
+### List all the snapshots for all the backends
+
+```
+autorestic -a exec snapshots
+```
+
+### Unlock a locked repository
+
+⚠️ Only do this if you know what you are doing. E.g. if you accidentally cancelled a running operation
+
+```
+autorestic -b my-backend exec unlock
+```
