    Description

      mariabackup is creating the target-dir when does not exist but not it's parent dir if not exist

      it would be expected to create the parent dir(s) from option – target-dir

      how to repeat
      1. mariabackup -u root -p --backup --target-dir /var/mariadb/backup/ – fails
      2. mariabackup -u root -p --backup --target-dir /var/backup – is accepted

      mariabackup -u root -p --backup --target-dir /var/mariadb/backup/

          mariabackup does not recursively create a backup directory. Neither its precursor xtrabackup has this functionality. This should be fine I guess , as parent directories can already be created by mkdir -p (or mkdir on Windows) with other means. Maybe we should document the behavior? not creating a directory and ending with an error has the advantage of catching typos passed to the mariabackup command.
