Hi,

If I get your question right you want to setup a new slave server, in that case you just have to follow the steps on this link: [How to set up a replica for replication in 6 simple steps with Percona XtraBackup - Percona XtraBackup](https://docs.percona.com/percona-xtrabackup/8.0/set-up-replication.html)

If this is not what you want, please describe your issue/question with more details.

Thanks
