The backup command has been run inadvertently by users who meant to run backups (to list backups).
It can be surprisingly destructive: a backup will delete an older backup if the quota has been reached.
The above reasons are considered to outweigh a potential, but unlikely, backwards compatibility break. Scripts may block indefinitely after this change if they erroneously run platform backup in interactive mode. The solution is to disable interactive mode by adding the flag --yes or -y or --no-interaction, or by setting the environment variable PLATFORMSH_CLI_NO_INTERACTION=1.
