Sadly, my backups went missing in all of this. I had installed the back up contribution and used it all the time but it has vanished. Of course, I only had it in the Admin, I have never downloaded any of them to my pc. Let that be a lesson to everyone - backup backup backup... and save to somewhere other than just the Admin lest your host undo all your good intentions.
