Nope, it's caused by a bug long resolved. I think we only need to improve/hide the error message (because it's not really an error). Thanks for the report!

As @pvgoran already said, you can use the environment variable `RESTIC_PASSWORD`. This is documented in the manual here http://restic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Manual/#initialize-a-repository. If you have an idea on how to document this better,...

In this case, restic will start a second (parallel) backup, which uses data already uploaded by the first (still running) backup. I guess that both backups will finish almost at...

`restic backup` followed by `restic forget` and `restic prune` is the usual workflow, and that cleans it up. I'll add another issue anyway, so we can track this idea.

@zcalusic we could use the information stored in the lock files to do that: https://github.com/restic/restic/blob/master/src/restic/lock.go#L27-L33, maybe add the list of files to backup or the exact command line arguments or...

@zcalusic I'm talking about #711: detecting when a second backup with the same directories on the same machine is started. That should be possible. @bwmarrin I don't understand what you're...

Thanks for the explanation. I think that this is not a good idea. What happens if the backup location is slow without you noticing it (somebody in your network forgot...

Hey, thanks for opening this issue. That's quite a list you got there. What's the use case? And how do you imagine integrating this with restic?

To be honest with you, I'm not sure the project is ready for this. We're still young, and our goal is to build a highly reliable command-line application for creating...

I can understand that, thanks for elaborating. I have plans to add integration tests for the JSON output, so the tests assure that the format only changes in backwards-compatible ways,...
