I can’t seem to get ‘yum install percona-xtrabackup’ to install the 5.5 and 5.6 xtrabackup binaries. I’ve upgrade MySQL to 5.5.34 via the remi repository, and need xtrabackup\_55 to create/restore backups. Does anyone have any suggestions for properly installing these?

Sorry, I should have been more explicit. I have installed xtrabackup via the yum repo, but it only results in one binary which states it’s based on MySQL server 5.6.17 where I have 5.5.34 installed. The documentation specifically states to use the \_55 version for MySQL 5.5, but that binary isn’t being installed via yum.

Here’s a list of the xtrabackup binaries installed by yum

# ls -l /usr/bin/ | grep xtraback

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13015296 Jun 12 03:06 xtrabackup

Here’s the version details of the binary

# xtrabackup -v

xtrabackup version 2.2.3 based on MySQL server 5.6.17 Linux (x86\_64) (revision id: )

The question is how does one get the xtrabackup\_55 binary installed?
