Hi @johnwcarew See this post. It should have a workaround for this problem

> Hi Jyothi, It looks like you are facing [[PXB-2702] Backup fails when undo truncation log is present - Percona JIRA](https://jira.percona.com/browse/PXB-2702) MySQL server is supposed to remove the undo\*\_trunc.log after resuming from crash. For some reason, it leaves this file (orphan). This confuses backup. We will be fixing in the upcoming release of PXB 8.0.30 As a workaround, you can try to rename them the undo\_trunc.log files in server data directory to undo\_trunc.log.backup(or any other extension except .log)
