[Solved] Backup of database

[funslemmens]

Hi there,

I was offered to download the contents of my website after Johnny broke down. The only this which was actually on the site was a database. However, in my downloads there is not database available. Does this mean I should assume that the database was lost?

Kind regards,

Funs

The databases on Johnny were not recoverable because the server no longer booted and the mariadb partition on the server had trashed itself.

If you know the name of the databases and the tables inside, it may be possible to locate the raw .ibd and .frm files for you, but actually recovering the data from those can be a challenge assuming we can even find them. I think we were able to find those for one or two other users so far of the ones who asked...

In that case, I'll consider the data as being lost. Thank you for the reply!
