Add more verbose error messages

[nickelswitte]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When autorestic fails for some reason, I only get Error: exit status 1 and no additional information. Maybe I am missing some log files, but with just this, it leaves me guessing what the problem is.

Example:

user@host:~$ sudo autorestic check
Using config:    /home/user/.autorestic.yml
Using lock:      /home/user/.autorestic.lock.yml
Initializing backend "backend-name"...
Error: exit status 1

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like autorestic to pass on the error messages directly into the std out / terminal.

+1, same exact symptoms here. Would like to know at least where to start diagnosis.

Hey @nickelswitte, try running autorestic exec -av -- check and see if you have a stale lock file. That's what was causing this for me.

That is a good workaround, thank you.

As default behavior, I would like autorestic to forward restic error messages for easy debugging. @cupcakearmy

For sure. Took a lot of google fu and trial and error to figure that out.
