subcommands:
 backup: provides auxiliary backup-related commands
 restore: restores backup specified by restore mark if it exists

command-line flags:
  -apiURL string
     vmbackupmanager address to perform API requests (default "http://127.0.0.1:8300")
  -backupInterval duration
     Interval between backups. If set to 0 interval is set to 1h if hourly backups are enabled and 24h otherwise
  -concurrency int
     The number of concurrent workers. Higher concurrency may reduce backup duration (default 10)
  -configFilePath string
     Path to file with S3 configs. Configs are loaded from default location if not set.
     See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-security-credentials.html
  -configProfile string
     Profile name for S3 configs. If no set, the value of the environment variable will be loaded (AWS_PROFILE or AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE), or if both not set, DefaultSharedConfigProfile is used
  -credsFilePath string
     Path to file with GCS or S3 credentials. Credentials are loaded from default locations if not set.
     See https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/creating-managing-service-account-keys and https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-security-credentials.html
  -customS3Endpoint string
     Custom S3 endpoint for use with S3-compatible storages (e.g. MinIO). S3 is used if not set
  -deleteAllObjectVersions
     Whether to prune previous object versions when deleting an object. By default, when object storage has versioning enabled deleting the file removes only current version. This option forces removal of all previous versions. See: https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmbackup/#permanent-deletion-of-objects-in-s3-compatible-storages
  -disableDaily
     Disable daily run. Default false
  -disableHourly
     Disable hourly run. Default false
  -disableMonthly
     Disable monthly run. Default false

  -enableTCP6
     Whether to enable IPv6 for listening and dialing. By default, only IPv4 TCP and UDP are used
  -envflag.enable
     Whether to enable reading flags from environment variables in addition to the command line. Command line flag values have priority over values from environment vars. Flags are read only from the command line if this flag isn't set. See https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#environment-variables for more details

See https://docs.victoriametrics.com/enterprise/
  -filestream.disableFadvise
