creating another mysql instance and restoring DB (R1soft)
- Restore the raw DB files from the recovery point:
ib_logfile0
ib_logfile1
ibdata1
/var/lib/mysql/mysql
/var/lib/mysql/_dbname
The log files, ibdata and mysql tables must always be restored in addition to the actual user database(s).
Important: Restore to an ALTERNATE location (do NOT overwrite existing location). Use e.g. /var/lib/mysql_tmp (ensure there is enough space). Folder needs to have ownership by mysql:mysql.
- Start a temporary MySQL instance
Replace the path with where the data was restored.
mysqld_safe --socket=/var/lib/mysql_tmp/mysql.sock --port=3307 --datadir=/var/lib/mysql_tmp
You now have a separate MySQL server running with the data from the restored backup. It is now posssible to connect to the instance using port 3307 or the socket path.
- Generate DB dump
To create a database dump from the temp instance, use this command (replace path to socket with actual path):
mysqldump --socket=/var/lib/mysql_tmp/mysql.sock dbname > dbname.sql
- Cleanup
Stop the temp instance by killing the process and delete the restored files.
