Migrating 1TB of data from mysql 5.1.56 to maria 10.0.26

[japhering]

So far, I have been unsuccessful in using xtrabackup to do the migration.

Errors seen:

version not supported – mysql side … version of xtrabackup had dropped support for 5.1.56
backup is corrupt – on maria side - md5sums matched
failed to start – from maria after extracting the backup (nothing informative in the maria logs, no errors popped by xtrabackup)

So has anyone successfully done such a migration or have thoughts on version(s) of xtrabackup to use ?

Thanks

Migrating from 5.1 to 10.0 (5.6) it is still highly advisable to use mysqldump dump and restore instead of using Percona Xtrabackup.
