$ tahoe backup --help
Usage:  tahoe backup FROM ALIAS:TO

But the way I use tahoe backup does not involve aliases, e.g.:

tahoe backup ~/Maildir/URI:DIR2:censoredcensoredcensoredce:censoredcensoredcensoredcensoredcensoredcensoredcens/Maildir

``` $ tahoe backup --help Usage: tahoe backup FROM ALIAS:TO ``` But the way I use `tahoe backup` does not involve aliases, e.g.: ``` tahoe backup ~/Maildir/URI:DIR2:censoredcensoredcensoredce:censoredcensoredcensoredcensoredcensoredcensoredcens/Maildir ```

See source:docs/frontends/CLI.rst#command-syntax-summary for the correct synopses.

Actually, some of the commands are missing from that summary and should be added -- but the ones that are there give the correct pattern for arguments.
