-Percona XtraBackup is OpenSource online (non-blockable) backup
-solution for InnoDB and XtraDB engines.
+Percona XtraBackup is an open-source hot backup utility for
+MySQL-based servers that doesn't lock your database during the backup.
+
+It can back up data from InnoDB, XtraDB, and MyISAM tables on MySQL
+5.1, 5.5 and 5.6 servers, as well as Percona Server with XtraDB.
+
+Percona XtraBackup is a combination of the xtrabackup C program, and
+the innobackupex Perl script. The xtrabackup program copies and
+manipulates InnoDB and XtraDB data files, and the Perl script enables
+enhanced functionality, such as interacting with a running MySQL
+server and backing up MyISAM tables.
