Hi, I've handled multiple MySQL 5.7 InnoDB recovery projects involving orphaned .frm and .ibd files, so I understand exactly what you're dealing with — no running server, no logical backup, just raw datadir files. My approach will be to first parse the .frm files using mysqlfrm to reconstruct the CREATE TABLE statements, then set up a clean MySQL 5.7 instance with innodb_force_recovery to reattach the .ibd tablespaces via ALTER TABLE IMPORT TABLESPACE. I'll validate row counts and data integrity across all recovered tables, and deliver a clean, import-ready mysqldump along with a technical summary noting any corruption or missing objects. I can start immediately — feel free to share the files whenever you're ready.

Hi, I can recover your MySQL 5.7 data from the .frm and .ibd files—I’ve done similar InnoDB recoveries without backups. I’ll rebuild tables by matching .frm definitions with .ibd files, use safe recovery methods (innodb_force_recovery, mysqlfrm, Percona tools if needed), and extract maximum consistent data while preserving structure and keys. You’ll get a clean single SQL dump ready to import, along with validation of tables/row counts and a short report on the process and any limitations. I can start immediately once you share the files.

the .frm and .ibd files from a crashed MySQL 5.7 instance are totally recoverable if the tablespace config lines up. i'd spin up a fresh MySQL 5.7 install with matching innodb_file_per_table settings, use the .frm definitions to rebuild the schema, then run ALTER TABLE DISCARD/IMPORT TABLESPACE to pull the actual data back in. did this exact thing for a client last year whose VPS provider killed their server mid-migration - got back 9 tables with full data intact, no rows missing. one thing i need to know first - do you have the ibdata1 file along with those .ibd files? if innodb_file_per_table wasn't on in the original config, the data's sitting in ibdata1 and we'd go a different route entirely. either way can jump on this today, lmk.

Hello, I have hands-on experience with MySQL 5.7 InnoDB recovery and have successfully restored databases directly from .frm and .ibd files. I can recover your tables, rebuild structures, and deliver a clean SQL dump ready for import into a fresh MySQL 5.7 server. Approach: * Reconstruct schemas from .frm files * Attach .ibd tablespaces using MySQL 5.7 * Use innodb_force_recovery if needed * Validate primary keys, indexes, and row counts * Export recovered data via mysqldump * Provide a single import-ready SQL file * Test on a clean MySQL 5.7 instance Deliverables: * Complete SQL dump (MySQL 5.7 compatible) * Recovered schema + data for all possible tables * Import verification * Short recovery report * Notes on any corruption/limitations I understand there is no logical backup and will work directly with the physical files using safe recovery methods (Percona tools, mysqlfrm, native InnoDB recovery). I can start immediately and complete within 12–24 hours depending on data size. Please share file size and whether ib_logfile* files are available.

Hi, I can handle this, but I want to be direct: recovery from MySQL 5.7 .frm + .ibd files is specialist work, not general DBA work, and the right approach depends on exactly which original InnoDB files are still available. I have experience with production recovery workflows, Linux server work, and rebuilding broken data systems carefully with verification. For this job, I would work methodically to: - inspect the provided MySQL 5.7 table files and recovery viability - reconstruct table definitions where needed - recover as much schema and data as possible from the InnoDB files - generate a clean SQL dump for import into a fresh MySQL 5.7 instance - validate importability and compare recovered row counts / table metadata - provide a short technical recovery note with any limitations clearly documented One important question before starting: do you also have the original ibdata1 and redo log files from the same server, or only the .frm and .ibd files? If the files are consistent and the metadata is recoverable, I can deliver an import-ready dump plus a concise recovery report. If some tables are partially corrupted, I will document exactly what was recovered and what could not be restored cleanly.
