    Database Restore / MySQL 4.1 -- InnoDB

    Hello.

    I have got a MySQL 4.1 that we use wit vBulletin.... We had a crash
    last week and I've been able to restore the data up to September 2005
    as it stands.

    Now, I'm under the impression I could rebuild the data from the logs
    but I cannot seem to figure out how to do that based on the tools and
    instructions posted.

    I've got my ib_log files (ib_log0 and ib_log1) also my ibdata file,
    which is full of all the data i'm trying to get restored. Opening it up
    in hex editor, I can see posts and information right up to the moment
    the database crashed.

    What steps should I take to restore the data from the log/data files?

    I've tried several different steps, but I'm goofing it up somewhere I
    guess. Are there some other tools available to help with this?

    This site was a 'non-revenue' site, so I didn't exactly make all of the
    redundancy arrangements that I would normally do for an Oracle/MSSQL or
    any other live business database. I'm ateast going to enable mirroring
    this time around and move the backups to another location.

    Thoughts? Help?!

    Thanks,
    Aa
