Percona Server backups, natively.

Percona Server for MySQL is detected from the server's version comment and handled exactly like MySQL: a consistent dump per schema and a users.sql.

What Xtic runs

mysqldump
mysqldump --defaults-extra-file=/dev/fd/3 --single-transaction --quick --routines --events --triggers --hex-blob --set-gtid-purged=OFF appdb

Shown with placeholders. Credentials never appear on a command line: they reach the tool through the environment, a file descriptor or a short-lived file in memory.

Restore paths

  • Original database or a new name, replayed with mysql
  • Fresh instance: users.sql first, then every database

Verification

The dump's completion trailer; a scratch restore in deep verification. Every artifact is also hashed, and the stored copy is read back and compared before the run counts as verified.

Version rule

Client of the same major line, or newer.

Good to know

  • Physical backups with XtraBackup are on the roadmap, not in this release
  • Licence and editions: GPL — no edition gates.
