Hi,  
We have MySQL 5.6 setup on Windows.  
I understand that Xtrabackup is currently not supported for Windows. However, I see the Xtrabackup 1.6 version executables available online ( [url][https://www.percona.com/downloads/XtraBackup/XtraBackup-1.6/[/url]](https://www.percona.com/downloads/XtraBackup/XtraBackup-1.6/%5B/url%5D) ). Can you please share the Windows binaries for the latest version of Xtrabackup if possible. Else, can you please share the build scripts for Windows so that I can build it myself in our environment.

Appreciate your help!
