# Options
For the `backup` and `forget` commands you can pass any native flags to `restic`. In addition you can specify flags for every command with `all`.
If flags don't start with `-` they will get prefixed with `--`.
Flags without arguments can be set to `true`. They will be handled accordingly.
> ℹ️ It is also possible to set options for an [entire backend](/backend/options) or globally (see below).
```yaml
locations:
foo:
# ...
options:
all:
some-flag:123
# Equivalent to
--some-flag:123
backup:
boolean-flag:true
tag:
- foo
- bar
```
## Example
In this example, whenever `autorestic` runs `restic backup` it will append a `--tag abc --tag` to the native command.
```yaml
locations:
foo:
path:...
to:...
options:
backup:
tag:
- foo
- bar
```
## Global Options
It is possible to specify global flags that will be run every time restic is invoked. To do so specify them under `global` in your config file.
