Steps to perform recovery after restore operation

The procedure to perform post recovery is as follows for various platforms:

For Windows (VSS):

  1. Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools >Services.
  2. Select MySQL service and stop it.
  3. Delete or move everything from MySQL data directory.

    Note:

    Post restore, change the attributes of the restored data directory and files by using the following command.

    attrib -S <restore_path>/*.* /S /D

  4. Copy all the contents of restored data directory to MySQL data directory.
  5. Delete all the temporary files from data directory.

    For example:

    C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\Data\#innodb_temp.

    Delete undo_00x files from following data directory:

    \ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\

    For example:

    C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\undo_001

  6. Start MySQL service.

For Linux (LVM):

  1. Stop MySQL services.
  2. Copy all the contents of restored data directory to MySQL data directory.
  3. Change ownership of MySQL data directory.

    For example:

    chown -R mysql:mysql <full/path/of/MySQL/Data/Dir>

  4. Start the MySQL service.
Recovery Steps for backup done by mysqldump utility

Recover single MySQL database

Below are examples of Netbackup commands which are used mostly in Windows and Linux platform.

  • For Windows:

    mysql --host=localhost --user=root --port=3306 -p netbackup < C:\mysql_dump_testjune13\mysqlBackup_Dump_xxx.sqlx

  • For Linux:

    mysql --host=localhost --user=root --port=3306 -p netbackup < /home/Single_DB_Recovery/mysqlBackup_Dump_1656932006.sqlx

Recover MySQL instance

The example commands below will create a single dump file containing all the databases.

  • For Windows:

    mysql --host=localhost --user=root --port=3306 -p < C:\mysql_dump_testjune13\mysqlBackup_Dump_xxx.sqlx

  • For Linux:

    mysql --host=localhost --user=root --port=3306 -p < /home/Entire_Instance_Recovery/mysqlBackup_Dump_1656933025.sqlx
