Bugfix: Don't read password from stdin for backup --stdin
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Restic backup 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, restic backup --stdin will exit with the message
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fatal: cannot read both password and data from stdin
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
unless the password is passed in some other way (--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.
