Hope this one is better.

Today I've discovered some useful Borg environment variables, that allows automatic launch of backup to encrypted repository (sending pass-phrases from ReaR to Borg in non-interactive session should not be a problem any longer).
I'll prepare pull request with this enhancement.

Btw. Do we have some preferred way of storing sensitive information like passwords?

@gozora
off the top of my head I don't know a preferred way of
storing sensitive information like passwords.
For example I implemented an optional password
for ftpfs, see #845
and #859
where the password either must be manually entered
several times during "rear mkbackup" and "rear recover"
see #859 (comment)
but this way it is the secure method or alternatively
the password can be (optionally) specified as plain text
in the BACKUP_URL variable and then it is up to
the user how to protect that info in /etc/rear/local.conf

@jsmeix,
Thanks, I'll check that!
