Recovering Mysql - how to get a dumpfile from wampserver and none running db I had the following: 
- Wampserver/mysql/drupal + batch file with auto backup by use of mysqldump.
- Backup was distributed off and online. 

then : my laptop was stolen :-( and I need to recover but... the size of the backup is zero bites aahhhhh. I have a good mysqldump until 20/09/2014

In need to have a mysqldump until 19/12/2014 and this is still available in database in the wampfolder. I needed to re-install wamp so I have two folders now:

d:\wamp with the new wampserver
d:\wamp_old with the old wampserver with the database until 19/12/2104.

How to get a dumpfile from the none running db?

I'm a bit lost in your explanation, but there may not be much of a problem.


You have a dump from December?
But it is in the 'wrong' directory?
The dump was taken using mysqldump?


Reloading is nothing more than
mysql -uroot -p
