Disaster recovery with WinMerge! 🚒

[oraculix]

It's quite a while ago already, but nevertheless I wanted to use this forum to give some big Kudos to the WinMerge devs!
In a data loss scenario, I used WinDiff's binary mode to compare two corrupted copies of a transaction log to combine them into one, working copy. This saved my day - and particularly my customer's day! - while recovering a database after hard disk failure.

See my blog article for more.

Cheers,
