updating cache asks password multiple times.

[thepenguinthatwants]

I am not sure if this is default behaviour. When I update the cache files it asks me separately for every single backup. I have a script that takes backup once a day. When I run this after a week it asks me password for 7 times.

borg-restore.pl -u

It asks me same password repeatedly for every single backup? Is there any way to make it only ask once? Or is there a way to add the password from a file or a command? to make it into a cronjob?

That's due to borg-restore.pl starting borg multiple times. You should be able to use borg's own environment variables (BORG_PASSPHRASE, BORG_PASSCOMMAND, BORG_PASSPHRASE_FD) to pass your password to those borg processes. I'm not entirely sure if this works or if perl's taint more or anything else remove those environment variables. I think it should work, but I don't use password protected borg repos personally so I can't test this right now.
