innobackupex --help gives this output regarding restore:

innobackupex --copy-back [--defaults-file=MY.CNF] [--defaults-group=GROUP-NAME] BACKUP-DIR

while doc at https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtrabackup/2.4/innobackupex/innobackupex_option_reference.html#cmdoption-innobackupex--defaults-file clearly states that --defaults-file must be the first argument passed. When it's not first, the restore is failing by not being able to find datadir defined in defaults file.

innobackupex version 2.4.5 Linux (x86_64) (revision id: e41c0be)

Triaging low mainly because "innobackupex" is deprecated and it is better to use xtrabackup instead
