Hi! I’m trying to install percona-xtrabackup 8.4 to official docker image (percona/percona-server:8.4.3-3.1-multi).

# repo by major version does not exist

What am I missing? How to get pxb-84?

You have enabled repository for Percona Server 8.4.3 and not Percona Xtradb Cluster.
Percona Xtradb Cluster 8.4.3 is not released yet.
Percona Xtrabackup should be a part of the Percona Xtradb Cluster.

Note - pdps is Percona distribution for Percona Server.
pdpxc - Percona distribution for Percona Xtradb Cluster

I have so many questions…

Percona Xtrabackup should be a part of the Percona Xtradb Cluster.

Where is it mentioned? I never seen it before anywhere.
Here we can see that percona-xtrabackup-84-8.4.0-1.1.el9.x86_64.rpm is part of the pdps-8.4.3 :neutral_face:
And here it suggests installing percona-xtrabackup-84 from pdps :expressionless:

Percona Xtradb Cluster 8.4.3 is not released yet.

Does it mean I can’t install pxb-8.4 from repo?

How is it happened that pxb-8.3 is under “Innovation Releases” and 8.4 displayed as a stable one?

So many confusions, the installation process shouldn’t be so hard.

My bad, I overlooked it as as Percona server repository. Yes, percona xtrabackup is a part of PDPS.

You should be able to install XTRABACKUP using below command

[root@node0 /]# dnf install percona-xtrabackup-84

This release note should answer the question.

Could you show me your output of dnf repolist please?

Thanks!

Okay, I figured out:
MySQL software repositories

percona-release enable pxb-84-lts release

dnf install percona-xtrabackup-84
