I think I killed my website database and thus my blog and everything else. I’m working on damage control and at least getting the galleries and images back online…

Kids, always remember to manually download a backup because the automatic back-up system might fail you and if you’ve been really lax about backing up then you might lose all your data. Ugh. At least I am back to square one, instead of square minus four.

Did you get all the data back? What did you lose? If you have a dump of the DB at the “kill time”, I may be able to help.
I lost the old WordPress database: basically all my old posts which I could transfer from my personal site where I cross post. The corrupted DB is still on the cloud server at laughing squid but I cannot log into it (via phpAdmin) even with a newly created db id. I might open a ticket with Laughing Squid but at this point the important stuff is up and running (the image galleries) and I’m more focused on vacation. Thanks for the offer though!
