Dear Railway Support Team,

I am writing to request urgent assistance with recovering data from my MySQL database. Here are the details of my situation:

• Project Information: Project name is "lua-nova's Projects", specifically the subproject "natural-respect" (Project ID: 85f9bf54-098f-462c-b669-72ca2a69c6e9, found in the top left corner of the dashboard]).
• Service: MySQL service, previously deployed successfully last month.
• Volume: "diplomatic-volume", mounted at /var/lib/mysql, still showing consumption.
• Expiration Date: My free trial plan expired on August 21, 2025. I migrated to the $5 Hobby Plan on August 22, 2025.
• Issue: After the expiration, I re-deployed the MySQL service, but the original data did not return. Before the re-deploy, I created new tables with the same names as the old ones, which may have overwritten the original data.
• Logs: The deployment logs from August 22, 2025, 00:23:27 UTC (attached below) show a clean initialization of MySQL 9.4.0 without recovering the previous data: text 2025-08-22 00:23:25+00:00 [Note] [Entrypoint]: Entrypoint script for MySQL Server 9.4.0-1.el9 started. 2025-08-22 00:23:26+00:00 [Note] [Entrypoint]: Switching to dedicated user 'mysql' 2025-08-22T00:23:26.576370Z 0 [System] [MY-015015] [Server] MySQL Server - starting. 2025-08-22T00:23:26.703933Z 0 [System] [MY-010116] [Server] /usr/sbin/mysqld (mysqld 9.4.0) starting as process 1 2025-08-22T00:23:26.710823Z 1 [System] [MY-013576] [InnoDB] InnoDB initialization has started. 2025-08-22T00:23:27.716041Z 1 [System] [MY-013577] [InnoDB] InnoDB initialization has ended. 2025-08-22T00:23:28.220233Z 0 [System] [MY-010931] [Server] /usr/sbin/mysqld: ready for connections. Version: '9.4.0' socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' port: 3306
• Request: I suspect the new tables overwrote the original data in the "diplomatic-volume". Is there any way to recover the original data from the volume? The service is using the startup command docker-entrypoint.sh mysqld --innodb-use-native-aio=0 --disable-log-bin --performance_schema=0 --innodb-buffer-pool-size=1G, which disables binary logs, complicating recovery.

I kindly request your immediate assistance, as the expiration occurred less than 24 hours ago, and I am within the 30-day retention window. Please let me know if you can restore the previous data or export the volume for manual recovery. I am available to provide any additional information needed.

Thank you for your support!

Best regards, lua-nova
