Hi Team,

xtrabackup: error: log block numbers mismatch:
xtrabackup: error: expected log block no. 2671901, but got no. 1068025125 from the log file.

innodb_log_buffer_size=80M

Backup command is a pearl script, might not be able to share that due security reasons. Could you please suggest if there needs any parameter value changes if so how much?

Kindly suggest a permanent solution please!
