Implement separate user/password variables for rest-server backend about autorestic HOT 4 CLOSED

It's an interesting suggestion. I could implement it, as optional.
However I would suggest a submenu, don't want to pollute the global config.

backends:
  name-of-backend:
    type: rest
    path: restserver.example.com/johndoe
    rest:
      user: johndoe
      password: supersecurepw

What do you think? If no user and password are in the rest field the path would be taken unchanged to ensure back compatibility.

@TheForcer should be fixed in v1.0.4
You can run autorestic upgrade to do that automatically :)

Wow, awesome! Thank you for implementing this already :)

Sounds good! Backwards compatibility definitely makes sense, since not everyone is using the auth functionality. Your suggestion should work just fine.
