【xtrabackup故障】Failed to connect to MySQL to detect version

今天在做数据库备份数据遇到一个问题，主要原因是：备份和恢复的时候使用的xtrabackup的版本不一致

问题

使用xtrabackup校验数据的时候报错：

# innobackupex --apply-log /data/back/

Failed to connect to MySQL server to detect version.  
You must set xtrabackup version to use with --ibbackup option.  
Possible values are xtrabackup_55 (for MySQL 5.5), xtrabackup_56 (for MySQL or Percona Server 5.6, or xtrabackup (for MySQL 5.1 with InnoDB plugin or Percona Server)

根据报错提示，失败查明mysql的版本，需要指明--ibbackup选项，因为我的mysql是5.6版本的，所以我使用--ibbackup xtrabackup_56，
之前的备份还原是不需要添加该参数的，很奇怪，检查发现是备份的xtrbackup不是我经常使用的2.4，而是2.1.9，所以还原上面有些出入

解决：

# innobackupex --use-memory=1G --apply-log /data/back --ibbackup xtrabackup_56
