Recovery Mode

Syntax

machadmin -u --recovery=[simple | complex | reset]

The recovery mode is as follows:

simple: If there is no power loss when the server is running, simple recovery mode is run by default.
complex: The complex recovery mode takes longer to execute than the simple mode. It is executed by default when restarting after the power is turned off.
reset: When recovery is not performed in simple or complex mode, all data in all tables are checked to recover the database. In this case, some loss of data may occur.
