Better command line support (documentation?)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I can see it's possible to choose several directories to include in the backup 
-- in the GUI, they are called "backup groups", which may include a list of 
directories.

However, I can't find a way to start a backup job in the same way via command 
line. Is this possible?

If I want to backup a number of independent directories, do I need to run 
several command lines, one for each directory?

The help for the command line version is built-in. Just run 
"Duplicati.CommandLine.exe help" to get a list of available topics. I think, 
almost everything is covered in the built-in help. If something is missing, 
please let us know what exactly is missing or what you want to do via command 
line that does not seem to work.

Regarding your question about multiple source folders: The answer can be found 
is "Duplicati.CommandLine.exe help backup" which says:

Usage: backup <source folder> <target url> <options>

  This will perform full or incremental backups. It reads all files from
  <source folder> and stores the backups in <target url>. If no rule for full
  backups is specified, Duplicati will create one full backup and incremental
  backups afterwards. Multiple source folders have to be separated by the
  operating system's delimiter (semicolon ";" on Windows, colon ":" on
  Linux).

Thanks for the help. I hand't realized I could issue "help backup". This really 
helps!
