Bug Description

I want to use backintime with a script to get the latest snapshot-path the problem is that there is too much output when using "--last-snapshot-path".

Every time you use this parameter the hole version information is printed which is in my opinion not necessary. I have seen this behavior on other parameters like --last-snapshot.
Is it really necessary to output the hole version information when using a parameter?

I have written a patch for this and attached it to this post.

There's a new --quiet option that hide all informal output except important stuff like the snapshot list with --snapshots-list. Error msg will go to stderr
