2.4	Fix Released	Medium	Sergei Glushchenko	Percona XtraBackup moved to https://jira.percona.com/projects/PXB 2.4.5

In 2.4.4, it seems that the --target-dir is no longer relative to the current directory, and instead relative to the --data-dir.

If I'm in the directory /tmp and run:

xtrabackup --backup --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --target-dir=b1

In 2.3.5, the backup is put in /tmp/b1.

In 2.4.4, the backup is put in /var/lib/mysql/b1

indeed

xtrabackup --backup --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --target-dir=b1

creates backup in the datadir

here is workaround:

xtrabackup --backup --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --target-dir=./b1

or just use full path
