Description
Hi.
During mariabackup testing, I realized that for the option of "--password" I had to specify password in the commandline together.
If I use the option only without password, It says it requires a argument.
[root@maria-master full]# mariabackup --backup --target-dir /tmp/full -uroot -p
|
mariabackup: option '-p' requires an argument
|
For security purpose, It would be great that we just get the password input in next commandline like the other client tool does.
Great thanks,
Kwangbock

As a workaround, you can add the user name and password to ~/.my.cnf. e.g.:
[mariabackup]
user=mariabackup
password=mypassword
