restoring database from zen cart files?

I just made a huge misstake:yuck: My fat fingers manged to delete my sql database......and shame on me, I have no backup for this. However I do download all the files in my shop now and then, and have a recent download of these.

Is there possible to restore my database just using these files?

I am really hoping someone says yes, but I have the feeling that I have messed up big time here.

Thanks in advance anyways:cry:

the database isnt part of the fileset.
you may need to contact your host and see if by chance they have a current backup
they may charge you to restore it

Hello, lizbet ... that's too bad. Have you ever taken a backup using the backup pluin at all? If you have, you should have a file in your admin/backups directory. If not, contact your web host and see if they have taken a volume backup and could restore it for you.

Thanks, so it was like I expected.
I will contact my host to see if they can help me.
I asure you this will never ever, ever, ever happend again:yuck:

And all this for a top100 list I was trying out for a friend....wasnt even mine :censored:

Sorry, the files do not have any of the database info in them.

Oops, that's what happens when you go away to answer the phone before hitting post...

A good host should do regular backups for emergency protection.
