It can back up data from |InnoDB|, |XtraDB|, and |MyISAM| tables on unmodified |MySQL| 5.0, 5.1 and 5.5 servers, as well as |Percona Server| with |XtraDB|. For a high-level overview of many of its advanced features, including a feature comparison, please see :doc:`intro`. Whether it is a 24x7 highly loaded server or a low-transaction-volume environment, *Percona* |XtraBackup| is designed to make backups a seamless procedure without disrupting the performance of the server in a production environment. `Commercial support contracts are available `_. *Percona* |XtraBackup| is a combination of the |xtrabackup| *C* program, and the |innobackupex| *Perl* script. The |xtrabackup| program copies and manipulates |InnoDB| and |XtraDB| data files, and the *Perl* script enables enhanced functionality, such as interacting with a running |MySQL| server and backing up |MyISAM| tables. |XtraBackup| works with unmodified |MySQL| servers, as well as |Percona Server| with |XtraDB|.
