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

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](https://repo.percona.com/pdps-8.4.3/yum/release/9/RPMS/x86_64/) we can see that `percona-xtrabackup-84-8.4.0-1.1.el9.x86_64.rpm` is part of the `pdps-8.4.3` 😐  
And [here](https://docs.percona.com/percona-distribution-for-mysql/8.4/installing.html#install-percona-distribution-for-mysql-packages_1) it suggests installing percona-xtrabackup-84 from pdps 😑

> 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

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

This release note should answer the question.

Could you show me your output of `dnf repolist` please?

Okay, I figured out:  
[MySQL software repositories](https://docs.percona.com/percona-software-repositories/mysql.html#mysql-software-repositories)

```bash
percona-release enable pxb-84-lts release

dnf install percona-xtrabackup-84

```
