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.
