It seems, its crashes while checking version against the server.

Btw: which xtrabackup version you are using? (i.e xtrabackup --version) , I dont remember but there was one bug related to this in older version. I would suggest to use latest version of xtrabackup. Also you issue is related to this bug too but I’m not sure.
