 Description   

it seems something is wrong with command line processing:

if '--innobackupex' is at the end of command line mariadb-backup gives `unknown option` error:

ubuntu@ip-10-1-0-196:~$ sudo mariadb-11.3.0-preview-linux-systemd-x86_64/bin/mariadb-backup  -utest_user -pct570c3521fCCR#  --target-dir=backup/base_backup_dir --backup --innobackupex
 
mariadb-11.3.0-preview-linux-systemd-x86_64/bin/mariadb-backup: unknown option '--innobackupex'

if '--innobackupex' is the first argument mariadb-backup gives `Missing argument` error:

ubuntu@ip-10-1-0-196:~$ sudo mariadb-11.3.0-preview-linux-systemd-x86_64/bin/mariadb-backup  --innobackupex -utest_user -pct570c3521fCCR#  --target-dir=backup/base_backup_dir
