Bug Description

I upgraded from xtrabackup 2.4.5 to 2.4.6 and got paged for the root disks filling up. What changed in version 2.4.6 with respect to the tmpdir? How can I configure it to use a different tmpdir ?

Why does it continue to write to a deleted file?

Is it prepare or backup? What exact command are you using? Note that innobackupex is deprecated. See also bug 1706314
