Bug Description
I have a script taking a backup using percona-
innobackupex --apply-log "/var/lib/
As the script runs I see an error stating that the directory "/var/lib/
No amount of additional quotes or escaping has proven useful in getting xtrabackup to work with my directory names with spaces.
My current work around has been to create a symlink in /tmp.
ln -s "/var/lib/
innobackupex --apply-log /tmp/clone_
It appears as if innobackupex accepts the directory name as a complete single argument, but when it calls other programs the path name isn't put in quotes so the parts of the directory name are interpreted as individual arguments instead of a single string argument.
