Unknown option: remote-host

Hi everyone,
According to this : [url]https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtrabackup/2.0/innobackupex/remote_backups_ibk.html[/url]
It’s possible to store backups to a remote host, without the need of NFS.
So here is my command :

innobackupex --remote-host=root@10.1.2.156 --user=percona --password=mypassword /data/db-backup/bdd
Unknown option: remote-host
innobackupex: got a fatal error with the following stacktrace: at /usr/bin/innobackupex line 3916
main::check_args() called at /usr/bin/innobackupex line 1531
innobackupex: Error: Bad command line arguments

Damn, what am I missing ?
The remote-host option appears in the manpage, I don’t understand why this doesn’t works.

Regards,
Xavier C.

which version percona xtrabackup have you installed? you might be using latest 2.1 or 2.2 version of xtrabackup which does not have this funtionality anymore. try using --stream instead.
