usernameandpasswordfrom the environment variables CB_USERNAME & CB_PASSWORD as defaults when not specified on the command line.When environment variables are used it means that credentials are not exposed in the process list which is visible to all users on the host.
Typical usage could be:
e.g. in file /etc/couchbase/credentials
Followed by sourcing the credentials file and running cbbackup like so
. ./etc/couchbase/credentials cbbackup http://localhost:8091 /backups/couchbaseThis addresses this problem I raised in the forums for the community edition.
