hmmm i have still some problems  
on the slave i removed all the datadir files  
on the 3rd node of 1 PXC i ran  
xtrabackup --backup --target-dir=/backup/backup\_20200504  
xtrabackup --prepare --target-dir=/backup/backup\_20200504  
then rsync on the slave /backup directory  
then on the slave i did  
cd /backup  
rm -rf /var/lib/mysql (this is the datadir of Percona mysql)  
xtrabackup --move-back --target-dir=/var/lib/mysql  
and i get&nbsp;  
xtrabackup version 2.3.10 based on MySQL server 5.6.24 Linux (x86\_64) (revision id: bd0d4403f36)200504 11:21:31 [01] Moving ibdata1 to /var/lib/mysql/ibdata1Can not move file ibdata1 to /var/lib/mysql/ibdata1: No such file or directory

Thanks in advance
