I had a client uninstall MYSQL50 and delete the folder that housed the Data base files. When we recovered the deleted folder, we found that some tables had not been updated. After further investigation, we found that back-ups were not complete because MYSQL was running during the back-up thus not copying all the files to the DB.
Is there a way to recover the files that were held in MYSQL and not copied to the folder were the DB files were located? The client was copying the entire C: drive of the machine in question. Can we restore, and if so, will we have all the files that were being held in Mysql50?
