Hello guys,&nbsp;  
  
I hope not to ask something too obvious, but I can’t find anything that can help me with my problem. I have tried to make a Master/Slave test server with [https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtrabackup/2.3/howtos/setting\_up\_replication.html](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtrabackup/2.3/howtos/setting_up_replication.html) as a guide but I’m stuck at the second step, move-back command.&nbsp; When I run “xtrabackup --move-back --target-dir=/home/cmihai/mysql\_xtrabackup” command, i receive:&nbsp;&nbsp; ![]() ![]()

I guess it’s a rights issue but I haven’t found anything concrete on the internet, and the rights are given on root, the same user I’m logged in to when I run the command

Hi @Fatidic   
I would suggest you to try Percona XtraBackup 8.0.  
[https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtrabackup/8.0/index.html](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtrabackup/8.0/index.html)  
_Percona XtraBackup_&nbsp;2.4 does not support making backups of databases created in&nbsp;_MySQL_&nbsp;8.0,&nbsp;_Percona Server for MySQL_&nbsp;8.0 or&nbsp;_Percona XtraDB Cluster_&nbsp;8.0.
