I'm not using borg to back up databases, so I can't recommend any of 
these options, but at least this point is manageable: you can pipe the 
output of `mysqldump` into borg without storing the temporary file 
anywhere by giving `-` as the path to store.

mysqldump … | borg create /your/repository::mysqldump-backup -
