Description:
This document said, "For MySQL 5.7 and earlier, use MySQL Enterprise Backup 4.1. "

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-enterprise-backup/8.0/en/bugs.compatibility.html

But it's wrong. MEB 4.1 support 5.7 only, not support '5.7 and earlier'.

See this document. "MySQL Enterprise Backup 4.1 only supports MySQL 5.7. For MySQL 5.6 and earlier, use MySQL Enterprise Backup 3.12."

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-enterprise-backup/4.1/en/bugs.compatibility.html

How to repeat:
See Description.

Suggested fix:
Modify the document,

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-enterprise-backup/8.0/en/bugs.compatibility.html

[now]
For MySQL 5.7 and earlier, use MySQL Enterprise Backup 4.1.

[should be]
For MySQL 5.7, use MySQL Enterprise Backup 4.1.
