Installing Percona XtraBackup from Repositories¶
Percona provides repositories for yum (RPM packages for
Red Hat, CentOS and Amazon Linux AMI) and apt (.deb
packages for Ubuntu and Debian) for software such as Percona Server for MySQL,
Percona XtraBackup, and Percona Toolkit. This makes it easy to install and
update your software and its dependencies through your operating system’s
package manager. This is the recommend way of installing where possible.
Following guides describe the installation process for using the official
Percona repositories for .deb and .rpm packages.
Note
For experimental migrations from earlier database server versions,
you will need to backup and restore using XtraBackup 2.4 and
then use mysql_upgrade from MySQL 8.0.x
