 Description   

Everytime I want to prepare a backup and give "mariabackup --prepare" then "Can't open backup-my.cnf for reading" appears. I tried chmod 777 on my directory, as well as chown mysql:mysql and nothing works.
The backup-my.cnf is clearly there, so am I missing something or is this a bug?

Looks like MDEV-17960. check that backup-my.cnf in your backup directory,..

Red Rooster,

You said that you tried chmod "on your directory" and that backup-my.cnf "is there", but what do you mean by "your directory"? As Alice said above, the file must be in the backup directory (the one that you run --prepare on) – not in your home directory, or in usual cnf locations, or in the datadir.
