# BackupForge Ultimate CLI Reference

## Usage

``text
"BackupForge Ultimate.exe" --cli COMMAND [options]
``

## Commands

- `help`
- `status`
- `profiles`
- `preview`
- `run`
- `verify`
- `manifests`
- `manifest`
- `compare-manifests`
- `destination-test`
- `export-config`
- `restore`
- `history`
- `service`

Common automation switches include `--json`, `--quiet`, `--output PATH`, `--dry-run` and `--yes` where supported. Consult `--cli help` because each Forge exposes domain-specific arguments.

CLI/service mode intentionally creates no GUI, notification icon, OSD or Resource Pet. Passwords/API keys must use the documented environment variables; never place secrets directly in command history.
