Exec

autorestic exec [-b, --backend]  [-a, --all] <command> -- [native options]

This is a very handy command which enables you to run any native restic command on desired backends. Generally you will want to include the verbose flag -v, --verbose to see the output. An example would be listing all the snapshots of all your backends:

autorestic exec -av -- snapshots

With exec you can basically run every cli command that you would be able to run with the restic cli. It only pre-fills path, key, etc.
