If I want to use pipes/fifo to backup from external application I use a
bpipe-fd plugin which handles external application execution and backup
data stream dispatching for both backup and restore process.
It has nothing with restoring a data to named pipes, but solves a
chicken-and-egg problem mentioned above.
