Hi, I was wondering whether if anyone knew the method by which data can be extracted from a backup of a mysql data directory done with tar. The files I currently have are a copy of the whole mysql directory tree (done with tar). What I want to do is somehow extract the information from these files to dump to a text file and then I can use mysqlimport or whatever from there. I realise that mysqldump is the correct way to back up databases but that's all I have to work with at the moment. Any ideas on how this could be done?
