Sure, but that would fail for any process which has detached from the
terminal. The backup is stdin, which you can also setup.
Admittedly, the OP may not be in a position to setup the environment in
such a way as to make it work, which means that such an option may be
worthwhile...
If it's going to be an option, I'd suggest something like --daemon-mode
since it's entirely possible other issues tmay come up later that might
need this kind of attention.
Have a nice day,
