creating an archive should the command fail. The command is considered failed
when it returned a non-zero exit code.
Reading from stdin yields just a stream of data without file metadata
associated with it, and the files cache is not needed at all. So it is
safe to disable it via ``--files-cache disabled`` and speed up backup
creation a bit.
By default, the content read from stdin is stored in a file called 'stdin'.
Use ``--stdin-name`` to change the name.
