Recovery Drill

For MySQL-based business systems, use ppk drill mysql to perform a recovery drill in an isolated environment. The walkthrough should validate the database, application files, configuration, and startup dependencies at the same time, rather than just confirming that the backup files can be decrypted.

1. Prepare separate MySQL target libraries and application directories in an isolated environment.
2. Select the database and file restore points on the same timeline, and execute ppk drill mysql dry-run first.
3. After confirming the independent exercise library and workspace, add --apply to complete decryption, unpacking, SQL import and verification.
4. Verify database tables, critical business records, upload files, configuration references, and app launch.
5. Document recovery time, missing dependencies, permission issues, and steps that need to be handled manually.
