I was try to create backup with following command

innobackupex --user=… --password=… --stream=tar /var/www/db\_backup/ | gzip - \> /var/www/db\_backup/clo\_pps\_demo.tar.gz

Here stream as tar and destination directory as /var/www/db\_backup/ when execute command backup created clo\_pps\_demo.tar.gz in dest. directory.

I need timestamp directory to creat back like /var/www/db\_backup/TEMP\_DIR/clo\_pps\_demo.tar.gz. But TEMP\_DIR i mean timestamp directory not created.
