Public bug reported:

This is a feature request, not a bug report.

It would be great if you could pass a parameter to innobackupex to
specify the actual name of the backup directory, instead of innobackupex
naming it automatically using a date/time string.

You can do this with xtrabackup, but it doesn't appear that you can do
so with innobackupex.

Thanks!
