Features

Repair InnoDB & MyISAM Tables

Stellar Repair for MySQL handles both major MySQL storage engine formats. For InnoDB, it repairs .ibd tablespace files and reconstructs the data dictionary when .frm descriptors are missing. For MyISAM, it fixes damaged .MYD data files and rebuilds corrupt .MYI index files — restoring full table access in both engines.

Supports All MySQL 5.x – 8.x & MariaDB

Why Use Stellar Repair for MySQL

Non-Destructive Recovery

Works on a copy of the corrupt file — your original database is never modified during the repair process. Safe to run on live server backups.

Recovers All MySQL Objects

Restores tables, views, stored procedures, triggers, indexes, keys, and auto-increment values — complete schema and data recovery in one pass.

Preview Before Saving

Scan once, preview all recovered data in a tree-view before you decide what to save. Avoids surprises and confirms recovery completeness.

Direct Server Save or SQL Export

Save recovered data directly to a live MySQL server or export as a clean .SQL script for import into any MySQL-compatible system.

How Recovery Works

Stellar Repair for MySQL uses a three-stage scan engine: Quick Scan for minor corruption (damaged indexes, header errors), Deep Scan for severe corruption (InnoDB tablespace damage, crashed data pages), and Raw Recovery for cases where file headers are completely lost. Rostan Technologies's DBA team uses all three modes depending on the severity of corruption — and provides post-recovery validation to confirm data integrity before returning systems to production.

Will the repair process overwrite or damage my original MySQL database files?

No. Stellar Repair for MySQL operates entirely on a copy of the corrupt file. The tool never writes to your original .MYD, .MYI, or .ibd files. Your original corrupt database remains untouched throughout the recovery process, giving you full safety to re-run recovery with different settings if needed.

Which MySQL versions and storage engines does this tool support?

The tool supports MySQL 5.0, 5.1, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 8.0, 8.1, 8.4 and all MariaDB releases up to 11.x. Both InnoDB and MyISAM storage engines are fully supported. If your installation uses a mix of engines (common in legacy Laravel or WordPress databases), both file types are repaired in the same session.

Can it recover data from a database where the MySQL server will not start?

Yes — this is the primary use case. Stellar Repair for MySQL works directly on the database files (.ibd, .frm, .MYD, .MYI) without needing a running MySQL server. Copy the files from your crashed server to a Windows or Linux machine, run the tool, and recover data to a working server or SQL export file.

How long does a MySQL database repair take?

Repair time depends on file size and corruption severity. A Quick Scan on a 1GB database typically completes in 2–5 minutes. Deep Scan on heavily corrupted InnoDB tablespaces of 10–20GB may take 20–40 minutes. For very large databases (100GB+), Rostan Technologies recommends engaging our DBA team for guided recovery to ensure optimal scan settings and minimise downtime.

Can Rostan Technologies assist with MySQL recovery if I cannot do it myself?

Yes. Rostan Technologies offers a managed MySQL recovery service where our certified DBA team handles the full recovery process — from secure file transfer, tool execution, recovery validation, and re-import into your production server.
