Hello there.  
I have two server with the same hardware and software specifications.  
The OS is Debian 8.4.  
The Percona Version is 5.7.11-4-1.jessie  
I use this ( [https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtrabackup/2.1/howtos/setting\_up\_replication.html](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtrabackup/2.1/howtos/setting_up_replication.html) ) documentation for cluster setup.  
I have this problem on STEP 1:

* * *

root@db01m:~# innobackupex --user=root --password=‘\*\*\*\*\*\*\*’ --apply-log /root/backup/$TIMESTAMP  
160418 15:01:58 innobackupex: Starting the apply-log operation

IMPORTANT: Please check that the apply-log run completes successfully.  
At the end of a successful apply-log run innobackupex  
prints “completed OK!”.

## innobackupex version 2.4.2 based on MySQL server 5.7.11 Linux (x86\_64) (revision id: 8e86a84) xtrabackup: cd to /root/backup xtrabackup: Error: cannot open ./xtrabackup\_checkpoints xtrabackup: error: xtrabackup\_read\_metadata() xtrabackup: This target seems not to have correct metadata… InnoDB: Number of pools: 1 InnoDB: Operating system error number 2 in a file operation. InnoDB: The error means the system cannot find the path specified. xtrabackup: Warning: cannot open ./xtrabackup\_logfile. will try to find. InnoDB: Operating system error number 2 in a file operation. InnoDB: The error means the system cannot find the path specified. xtrabackup: Fatal error: cannot find ./xtrabackup\_logfile. xtrabackup: Error: xtrabackup\_init\_temp\_log() failed.

If try to create dump without option ‘–apply-log’ , everything is correct:

* * *

root@db01m:~# innobackupex --user=root --password=‘\*\*\*\*\*’ /root/backup/$TIMESTAMP  
160418 15:03:15 innobackupex: Starting the backup operation

…

## xtrabackup: Transaction log of lsn (2491315) to (2491324) was copied. 160418 15:03:19 completed OK!
