Hey @ahmadzadaa  
This guide outlines the process of backing up and restoring a single table or an entire database schema using Percona XtraBackup.

> **[Percona XtraBackup: Backup and Restore of a Single Table or Database](https://www.percona.com/blog/percona-xtrabackup-backup-and-restore-of-a-single-table-or-database/)**
>
> It is easy to backup and restore a table or a database using Percona XtraBackup, by using just a few commands.

This documentation from Percona provides instructions for restoring individual tables in a partial backup to a server.  
Also, you can check it out:

> **[Percona XtraBackup - Restore a partial backup](https://docs.percona.com/percona-xtrabackup/8.0/restore-partial-backup.html)**

> Restoring should be done by restoring individual tables in the partial backup to the server.
