For MySQL 5.7.x version you should use Xtrabackup 2.4.x version.
Please refer -> https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtrabackup/2.4/index.html

Please give a try with 2.4 version.

Marking this as invalid since we recommend to use XtraBackup 2.4.x on Percona/MySQL Server 5.7.x.

[Jim Pruneski (puckheadcoach)]

Thanks. Working now with version 2.4.
