Backing up data through STDIN

Is there any way to backup data via STDIN, like restic offers. See:

Thanks, Carl

Reading from STDIN would require lots of code changes, due to the way how files are read and split.

How about using the pre-backup script to save the mysqldump output to a temporary file before the backup?
