Problem description Some systems have a bug that makes xbstream fail to create the destination directory, you need to force its creation. This is the reason, that in this post, I’ll be adding extra steps prior to open the xbstream process. xtrabackup_56: Error writing file 'UNOPENED' (Errcode: 32 - Broken pipe) xb_stream_write_data() failed. Update: it’s been long time since new versions haven’t been tested by me, so this bug might be fixed as of now.
