Hello,
My understanding of your project is that you have copied the entire mysql data directory, including ibdata files and are now looking to export (via backup), all the data from the innodb tables.
Can you confirm:
- Was the MySQL server shutdown prior to your copying the data directory?
- What version of MySQL are you currently running?
- How large is the dataset?
I have extensive experience with MySQL and backup strategies, so I am confident I can work with you for a successful completion of the project.
Thank you
Darren
Update: As per our messages, I have added the additional requested task to the milestones, and although I have spent close to an additional 5 hours working on the deep data recovery, I have included only 1 additional hour in the payments, I consider this to be very fair and as I mentioned, if you are looking for someone to assist with your server crash situation and backup procedure in the future, I would be happy to work with you. Thank you again.
