Hello.  
I have MariaDB 10.6.  
In this version config parameter innodb\_log\_files\_in\_group is not present and it’s default value is 1. So, I have one file ib\_logfile0.  
But xtrabackup requires minimum of two log files.  
I can’t do like this “–innodb-log-files-in-group=1” while starting because it ignores it if the value is less than 2.  
As a result, I have an error:  
“File ./ib\_logfile1: ‘open’ returned OS error 71”  
Yes, because I haven’t this file at all.  
xtrabackup version 2.4.24

Hi @alexby.

None of the versions of Percona Xtrabackup are compatible with MariaDB 10.6, you should use mariabackup instead.

Hello @Alexby, just to elaborate, MariaDB has made extensive changes to their structure and software in such ways that it is no longer considered a MySQL equivalent. You’ll find that many tools that used to work with older versions of MariaDB no longer work because of the changes they have made.
