64 Bit Windows Only
Windows 11, Windows 10 and Windows Server 2025 qualify, with Microsoft .NET 8.0 installed.
Live Export Needs MySQL
Install MySQL Server on the computer before you export to a live database.
MySQL states that version 8.0 removes the .frm files and keeps table metadata in data dictionary tables. MySQL Recovery lists .frm, .myd and .myi files only for older releases.
Details sit in the MySQL manual on removal of file based metadata storage.
