Dear forum,

I have 2 questions regarding XtraBackup:

1. We currently use percona-xtrabackup-2.0.6 with MySQL 5.5.28. Is it valid to switch to latest xtrabackup version [percona-xtrabackup-2.3.5-1.el6.x86\_64.rpm](https://www.percona.com/downloads/XtraBackup/Percona-XtraBackup-2.3.5/binary/redhat/6/x86_64/percona-xtrabackup-2.3.5-1.el6.x86_64.rpm) with MySQL 5.5.28?

2. If yes, is it possible to restore a backup with latest xtrabackup 2.3.5-1 (containing myisam and innodb tables) which was taken with xtrabackup version 2.0.6 ?

Best regards,  
Martin
