User Testimonials
	Percona XtraBackup
Likelihood to Recommend	Xtrabackup has many excellent features that are supposed to be in any backup solution. It's well suited for all MySQL deployments but it's not appropriate for any other database. If you are using any MySQL flavor (MySQL, MariaDB, Percona Server for MySQL), it's your only and perfect solution for backup and disaster recovery. Anil Yadav Senior Engineering Manager (Site Reliability Engineering) Read full review
Pros	The ability to stream backups (using netcat or socat) to a target destination has many uses, for example, 1)We do not need to store a backup locally on the database server 2) We can stream backups into object storage using GCSFUSE. The hot-backup functionality is probably the most important function. We are able to take backups of our primary instances with minimal impact on the database instance. XtraBackup has many parameters that can be tuned, allowing us to increase performance or reduce by using the parallel thread parameter for example. Partial backups. The ease of use when doing restores. Simplified, fast and accurate. Douglas Doo Principle Database Architect [MySQL\|RDS\|Aurora\|PXC\|MongoDB\|Oracle\|CloudSQL\|Clickhouse] Read full review
Cons	Remote execution: Xtrabackup doesn't support remote backup. The backup process has to run locally and have to store data locally. LifeCycle management: Xtrabackup doesn't support backup lifecycle management. Users have to manage it themself. Stability for large databases.

Usability	Takes a bit of getting used to when you first set it up. Incentivized Harjit Lakhan Senior MySQL DBA Read full review
Support Rating	Great support, detailed online documentation, and examples in many scenarios. Bugs can be logged and are tracked. Great community support has been built-up due to Percona XtraBackup being a great product. Frequent releases ensure bug fixes are committed as soon as possible. Over and above this, the development team stays up to date with the latest releases of MySQL and ensures it is 100% reliable.

Alternatives Considered	Percona XtraBackup saves us time and money. Besides the performance and reliability, the support and documentation are top-notch. It's not just about the cost savings, but about the functionality and the minimal impact that XtraBackup has on the database server during a backup window. Percona XtraBackup has been integrated into Percona XtraDB Cluster which makes adding nodes easy and fast.

Return on Investment	It is free and the best backup tool that I know of. Using this for free means we save on having to purchase other backup software. As a DBA it is the standard backup tool that is used everywhere I have been. Incentivized Harjit Lakhan Senior MySQL DBA Read full review
