      check for mariabackup toll -it's not present and has to be installed additionally

          MariaBackup is a separate package, it's intentional, there are several reasons for that:

          • mariabackup went through a separate release cycle, so it was alpha/beta when the rest of the server was already stable;
          • mariabackup could have additional dependeincies which the server doesn't, we don't want to impose them on people who don't need the backup;
          • users might want to install mariabackup with a different version of the server, they shouldn't need to install the whole server for that (and they wouldn't be able to, neither deb nor rpm packaging allows to have different MariaDB servers in parallel).

          It should be included in the binary tarball though, if it's not, it might be a bug.

          RE
          – that issue is just a request
          – users of server probably would need backup tool; respectively users of MariaDB-server might be interested in MariaDB-backup; any special dependences was not seen during the installation of MariaDB-server
          – may have mariabackup as separate package ; but also to be included in MariaDB-server pack;
