Sql recovery from a copy

SQL restore from a copy is a process in which you use a backup copy of an SQL database to restore its state to a specific point in time. This can be useful if your database has been damaged or some data has been deleted.

Here are the steps to restore an SQL database from a backup:

1. Create a new empty database on the MySQL server (for example, using the CREATE DATABASE command).

2. Upload the backup file (.sql) to the server or copy it there.

3. Open a command line and go to the directory with MySQL utilities (usually it is located at C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server X.XX\bin).

4. Enter the following command to import the .sql file:
mysql -u [username] -p[password] [database_name] < [file.sql] For example: mysql -u root -p mydatabase < backup.sql 5. If necessary, confirm the password of the database user. 6. Wait for the completion of the operation of importing all tables and records from the .sql file. After completing these steps, your database should be restored from backup. You can check that everything went well by executing SELECT requests on the database tables. It is important to note that performing these steps requires administrator rights or a user with the appropriate privileges to access the MySQL server and create/modify databases.View all data recovery questions
