The `backup` command when used with `--stdin` previously tried to read first
|
|
|
|
|
the password, then the data to be backed up from standard input. This meant
|
|
|
|
|
it would often confuse part of the data for the password.

|
|
|
From now on, it will instead exit with the message `Fatal: cannot read both
|
|
|
|
|
password and data from stdin` unless the password is passed in some other
|
|
|
|
|
way (such as `--restic-password-file`, `RESTIC_PASSWORD`, etc).

To enter the password interactively a password command has to be used. For
|
|
|
|
|
example on Linux, `mysqldump somedatabase | restic backup --stdin
|
|
|
|
|
--password-command='sh -c "systemd-ask-password < /dev/tty"'` securely reads
|
|
|
|
|
the password from the terminal.
