NETBACKUP MYSQL BACKUPS FAILS

Hi guys,

I am testing MySQL backup with NetBackup.

I installed NetBackup client on my server (Ubuntu 24.04), enable netbackup required firewall. I also created a Database User with all required rights privileges.

The WebUI user is part of Administrator and Default MySQL Administrator.

I create a Protection Plan for MySQL.

But something very strange happen.

1 - I can add my instance to the protection but I can't add like a single database to the protection

2 - when I run the backup for the instance I get that error and the backup fails.
