Block-Level Backups

Block-level backups are supported only on Linux platforms. For supported Linux kernel version details, see MySQL Block-Level Backup.
Block-level backups are not supported on the Network File System (NFS).

Software That Is Automatically Installed

File System Agent

The file system agent is automatically installed during the installation of this software, if it is not already installed. For file system system requirements, see the following:
The operating system must have been installed with at least the user level software option selected.

Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2017

Starting with Service Pack 18, Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2017 (vcredist2017.exe) is automatically installed.

If a computer does not have the most recent Windows updates, the installation of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2017 will fail in installing Universal C Runtime. The following Windows updates must be installed to prevent the installation failure. The updates are not required on the most recent Windows operating system versions, such as Microsoft Windows 10 and Microsoft Windows Server 2016, because these versions have the Universal C Runtime already installed.
