Percona XtraBackup 8.4.0-2 has been released on Wednesday, December 18, 2024.

Try it out using the Quickstart guide.

Percona XtraBackup 8.4.0-2 merges the MySQL 8.4 code base and introduces Percona XtraBackup 8.4.0-2 Pro build, in addition to the regular community builds.

Percona XtraBackup 8.4.0-2 Pro build includes the capabilities that are typically requested by large enterprises. These Pro builds are specifically created and tested by Percona, and the corresponding packages are supported only for Percona customers with a valid subscription.

Percona XtraBackup 8.4.0-2 Pro build is available for the following platforms:

  • Oracle Linux 9

  • Ubuntu (22.04)

  • Ubuntu (24.04)

  • Debian (12)

Percona XtraBackup 8.4.0-2 Pro build includes the Reduced backup lock time feature. With the addition of the --lock-ddl=REDUCED option this feature minimizes the time the server remains locked by xtrabackup during both full and incremental backups. Now, you can execute Data Definition Language (DDL) operations while the backup is in progress.
