This is a followup issue to #255: Find a place and implement a command or option that allows dumping a file from a snapshot to stdout.
This allows the following use case:
mysqldump | restic backup --stdin --stdin-filename production.sqlrestic cat-file-to-stdout $SNAPSHOTID production.sql | mysqlAlso somewhat useful for workarounds like the one suggested in https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/949
This is done in #1346, there's the new dump command. I'm closing this issue.
Should have been restore --stdout instead of dump, to be coherent with backup --stdin.
