title: Taking backup remotely using innobackupex
body: <p>I am trying to take backup from a remote machine using innobackupex.</p>
  
  <pre><code>./innobackupex --host=&lt;mysql_server&gt; --user=&lt;username&gt; &lt;backup_dir&gt;.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Its failing as it is unable to locate a directory in the server.</p>
  
  <pre><code> (Errcode: 2 - No such file or directory)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am assuming it is searching for the directory in the local machine.
  Please let me know how can we run the backup remotely ?</p>
