+     --restore [-t TIMESTAMP | -f URL]      When specified, utility restores from an existing backup specified
+                                            as url or timestamp in object storage.
+     -f URL                                 http(s):/ftp:/file: URL with backup location. Use with --restore.
+     -t TIMESTAMP                           Timestamp (part before '_gitlab_backup.tar' in archive name),
+                                            can be used to specify backup source or target name.
+     --rsyncable                            Pass the '--rsyncable' parameter to gzip for artifact compression.
+     --skip COMPONENT                       When specified, utility will skip the backup of COMPONENT.
+                                            May be defined multiple times. Valid values for COMPONENT are
+                                            db, repositories, and any of the object storages (e.g. 'lfs').

+                                            Can be either 's3' or 'gcs'.
+     --s3config CONFIG                      S3 backend configuration to use for backups storage.
+                                            Special config file for s3cmd (see: https://s3tools.org/usage)
+     --storage-class CLASSNAME              Pass this storage class to the gcs or s3cmd for more cost-efficient
+                                            storage of backups.
+     --maximum-backups N                    Only keep the most recent N number of backups, deleting others after success.
+                                            Requires s3config credentials to be able to list and delete objects.
+     --cleanup                              Run the backup cleanup without creating a new backup. Can be used with the 
+                                            'maximum-backups' option to clean old remote backups.
