     9  
    10  Run a backend specific command.
    11  
    12  ## Synopsis
    13  
    14  
    15  This runs a backend specific command. The commands themselves (except
    16  for "help" and "features") are defined by the backends and you should
    17  see the backend docs for definitions.
    18  
    19  You can discover what commands a backend implements by using
    20  
    21      rclone backend help remote:
    22      rclone backend help <backendname>
    23  
    24  You can also discover information about the backend using (see
    25  [operations/fsinfo](/rc/#operations/fsinfo) in the remote control docs
    26  for more info).
    27  
    28      rclone backend features remote:
    29  
    30  Pass options to the backend command with -o. This should be key=value or key, eg:
    31  
    32      rclone backend stats remote:path stats -o format=json -o long
    33  
    34  Pass arguments to the backend by placing them on the end of the line
    35  
    36      rclone backend cleanup remote:path file1 file2 file3
    37  
    38  Note to run these commands on a running backend then see
    39  [backend/command](/rc/#backend/command) in the rc docs.
    40  
    41  
    42  ```
    43  rclone backend <command> remote:path [opts] <args> [flags]
    44  ```
    45  
    46  ## Options
    47  
    48  ```
    49    -h, --help                 help for backend
    50        --json                 Always output in JSON format.
