Xtrabackup 2.4.25

Hi,

Is there any plan to release this version ?
The latest version 2.4.24 was released some time last year.

Hi @Catoman ,

PXB 2.4 does not require too often refreshes / releases in order to be able to backup new versions of MySQL / PS 5.7, meaning the current version 2.4.24 is able to backup all versions of 5.7 servers.

That said, we are planning a new refresh for 2.4 possibly this quarter.

Is there any issue you are facing or feature you are looking for here ?

Hi Marcelo,

I’m facing an issue with a particular backup, the error is similar to the one you helped me solve in PXB-2625 (but this time i suspect the problem is the upgrade from Debian Stretch to Buster, not Xtrabackup) and looked for a newer version of Xtrabackup.

Johan Andersson Thank you very much for your cooperation and help on this issue. I will add curl error 16 as retriable as default for the next xtrabackup release and will make sure we add the documentation bug.

Hi @Catoman ,

We have seen some issues with the curl version of Debian Buster - upgrading the version of curl on your SO might fix the issue - please check [PXB-2629] Backup download using xbcloud on Debian-10 not working. - Percona JIRA

Hi Marcelo,

I already have the Debian backport version of curl installed. I helped you with that problem about 6 months ago (see PXB-2625).
I have discovered that if the database i need to backup is bigger than 2TB, adding the --curl-retriable-errors=16 parameter makes the backup more reliable (even if that isn’t supposed to be needed when using a curl version higher than 7.65)
