+B<Warning:> If you want to set the optin C<autobackup> on the command line
+it might be interpreted as an option. In this case you have to use
+
+ tlmgr option -- autobackup -1
+
+The C<--> makes tlmgr stop parsing for options at that place.

+Alternatively, you can ue C<infty> instead of C<-1>, so the above is

+ tlmgr option autobackup infty

In the C<--clean> mode of the C<backup> action this option also
specifies the number to be kept.
