DESCRIPTION

       The backup apropos command displays the first line of the online help
       entry for any backup command that has in its name or short description

           Specifies the keyword string to match, in lowercase letters only.
           If the string is more than a single word, surround it with double
           quotes (" ") or other delimiters.

       -help
           Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
           are ignored.

       backup command where the string specified with the -topic argument is
       part of the command name or first line.
