Hello again SteveS0922
Some notes from our tech team: best practice in this situation would be to restore from a backup + binary logs?
Could you give us some idea of the size of the very large tables that we’re dealing with?
Whatever you try out, you should make sure that they have a backup beforehand.
If you can’t recover using this as guidelines it feels more likely that it’s beyond the scope of the Forum to get the right answer to you.
Here are a couple of blogs and webinars that could be helpful, if you need clarification on any of the points don’t hesitate to come back.
