Description:
In Windows,
Innobackup C fails during the checking the ibbackup in the system, and 
fails with the following output.

innobackup: IMPORTANT: Please check that backup run completes successfully.
              At the end of a successful 'backup' run innobackup
              prints "innobackup completed OK!".
  
Access is denied.
  innobackup: File '\sfk.1' not found (Errcode: 2)
  innobackup: Error: Execution of ibbackup failed

How to repeat:
Run innobackup like this.

innobackup --ibbackup=<path_to_ibbackup_binary>  <cnf file> <Backup root directory>

Suggested fix:
tmpnam_s() function returns the name of a temporary file which is for the current directory. innobackup C uses that as an absolute path. Hence the error.

So, replace tmpnam_s() function.
The following are the alternatives in hand,
1) Use Pipes
2) Use NUL 
3) Use the combination of GetTempPath() and GetTempFileName()
