There are different versions of _XtraBackup_ available. Older versions required an extra binary called _innobackupex_, especially when dealing with myISAM tables. In newer versions, _innobackupex_ is just a sysmbolic link to _XtraBackup_.

| -----------------: |:------:| -------:|
|2.0.8| - | InnoDB only seems to work |
|2.3.5| + | |
|2.4.4| + | |
