Running Percona XtraBackup in a Docker container

I am trying to take backup in the VM from MySQL which is running a docker container. But I am getting the following error: Please help.

MySQL Docker details:

datadir=/var/lib/mysql/
my.cnf = /etc/my.cnf

VM details:
/backup - to store the backups.

Error:
File ./ib_logfile0: ‘open’ returned OS error 71. Cannot continue operation
