Restore your database from a backup.

Yeah - sorry but youā€™re screwed. Hope the backup is in good shape.

Other than that I think you will have to restore from backup. If you
have not got one then possibly the web site host does.

Oh, and while youā€™re at itā€¦ Fire your mate! :slight_smile:

If you are able to recover from this, Iā€™m guessing your next task is to
implement a backup strategy. Remember,
having one copy is not a sufficient backup policy. I donā€™t consider data
to be ā€œbacked upā€ until there is at minimum two full backups (the
original, plus one local backup, plus 1 off-site backup).

I created two command line scripts for my production server. One runs on
the server using cron to perform a local mysqldump as a local backup.
The second one runs under launchd on my main development Mac, which
uses secure copy (scp) to download the backup file that was generated by
the script that runs on the server.

A red hot poker possibly?

Iā€™ll add that you donā€™t really have a backup policy (strategy) until
you are sure that you can RESTORE your backup. It doesnā€™t matter how
many copies you have if you canā€™t use them.

P.S. The larger strategy which includes backup is a disaster recovery
plan. Could you recreate a production environment on a completely
clean platform?
