Anonymous Case

InnoDB Page Corruption

MySQL failed to start after page corruption errors. DBRECOVER read the .ibd files directly and exported visible rows to SQL.

Outcome: key tables exported for reload.

Anonymous Case

DROP DATABASE Incident

A database was dropped accidentally. Recovery focused on remaining filesystem artifacts and readable InnoDB pages.

Outcome: recoverable tables identified locally.

Anonymous Case

Ransomware Partial Damage

Some database files were partially encrypted. The preview showed which records remained readable and worth exporting.

Outcome: unencrypted rows verified locally.
