Hello, you were right it was my mistake !

But i have an other question , i have a operating non kubernetes Percona Kluster, the docs tells you how to restore backup from existing kubernetes cluster, but how can i make this possible from a non kubernetes cluster?

Hi @Rub_Av

it is not tested instruction, but it should work

1. download backup, it can be done only with xbcloud tool

```auto
export CREDENTIALS="ENDPOINT=$ENDPOINT ACCESS_KEY_ID=$ACCESS_KEY_ID SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$SECRET_ACCESS_KEY DEFAULT_REGION=$DEFAULT_REGION"
env -i $CREDENTIALS xbcloud get "${backup_path}" --parallel=10 1>"$dest_dir/xtrabackup.stream"

```

1. prepare mysql dir

```auto
service mysqld stop
rm -rf /var/lib/mysql/*

```

1. unarchive

```auto
cat $dest_dir/xtrabackup.stream | xbstream --decompress -x -C /var/lib/mysql
xtrabackup --prepare --target-dir=/var/lib/mysql

```

1. set credential and start mysql

```auto
chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql
service mysqld start

```
