This question was originally asked on Ask Ubuntu... maybe better luck here. From a dead 16.04 Ubuntu system I have access to the disk so I'm trying to recover the data from the MySQL data folder in /opt/bitnami/mysql/. Yes, it was a Bitnami LAMP stack 7.3.15-0.

Is it possible read or use that data on a Win64 MySQL install? Assuming it's possible to do, which version should I install on Windows to match the 8.0.18 source system? A higher version could recognize data produced by the older one?

  • If you know the MySQL version from the old installation it is possible. Best chances are to attempt this in WSL to get the database running once again and do a full dump. – Mandraenke Nov 03 '21 at 15:57
