Streaming backup with MariaDB Backup

Because the original MariaDB documentation is a little bit sparse about this topic here are some notes about how to do a streaming MariaDB backup:

# mariadb-backup --user=root --backup --parallel=4 --stream=mbstream | ssh root@target_machine "/usr/bin/mbstream -x -C /var/lib/mysql/"

# mariadb-backup --user=root --prepare --target-dir=/var/lib/mysql
