-Run an app backup.
-
-A backup command and pre/post hook commands are defined in the recipe
-configuration. Abra reads this configuration and run the comands in the context
-of the deployed services. Pass <service> if you only want to back up a single
-service. All backups are placed in the ~/.abra/backups directory.
-
-A single backup file is produced for all backup paths specified for a service.
-If we have the following backup configuration:
-
-    - "backupbot.backup.path=/var/lib/foo,/var/lib/bar"
-
-And we run "abra app backup example.com app", Abra will produce a file that
-looks like:
-
-    ~/.abra/backups/example_com_app_609341138.tar.gz
-
-This file is a compressed archive which contains all backup paths. To see paths, run:
-
-    tar -tf ~/.abra/backups/example_com_app_609341138.tar.gz
-
-(Make sure to change the name of the backup file)
-
-This single file can be used to restore your app. See "abra app restore" for more.

-Pre/post hook commands are defined in the recipe configuration. Abra reads this

-Unlike "abra app backup", restore must be run on a per-service basis. You can
-not restore all services in one go. Backup files produced by Abra are
-compressed archives which use absolute paths. This allows Abra to restore
-according to standard tar command logic.
