Supported versions¶
Percona XtraBackup 8.0.34-29 supports backing up databases compatible with server version 8.0.34 and later. Percona XtraBackup 8.0.34-29 can create backups of older server versions if specific conditions are met. This capability is useful for maintaining compatibility and ensuring backups can be performed across different server versions. You might need to override server version check and set specific options, such as lock-ddl=ON.

-
Percona Server for MySQL 8.0.34, and MySQL 8.0.34
-
