报错原因：
在配置文件中没有配置socket
Xtrabackup在备份时，会使用本地的socket连接到数据库

解决方法：
在配置文件中增加socket选项

[root@localhost bin]# cat /etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
basedir = /usr
datadir = /var/lib/mysql
log-error = /var/lib/mysql/localhost.localdomain.err
pid-file = /var/lib/mysql/localhost.localdomain.pid
#port = 3306
socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

之后重启数据库，可以正常备份
