tablespaceas it exists in the first backup specified on the command line, and newdir is the absolute path to use for

tablespacewas introduced subsequently, it would only appear in an incremental backup.  Wouldn't this then mean that a
mappingwould need to be provided based on the path to the tablespace of that incremental backup's copy?
