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.

Check the MySQL Version Before You Scan

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.

Before

  • Tables refuse to open

  • Keys and records stay lost

After
