I was hacked and managed to get back control of my admin. Unfortunately, I accidently deleted a category and all of its products trying to fix what the hacker edited. Is there a way to get the category/products back? Or am I screwed?

Do you have a recent DB backup?

I did backup my website files through my web host, is that the same thing?

Unfortunately, no. Files and database files are not the same.
I no longer provide installation support on forum for all my modules. However, if there are real bugs with the modules please feel free to contact me

Well, so I'll know next time, how does one back up the database?

There are many ways: you can download a backup mod in download section
You can backup via cpanel (mysql->phpmyadmin)

If you have cPanel and did a FULL Backup, then Yes, you do have your database. You will have unzip/untar the backup file to find it.
If you use another Control Panel and did a FULL or COMPLETE Backup, perhaps it grabbed your database(s) as well.
The learning is in the doing.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, my back up did not back up my products. Luckily I didn't have many products in the category, so didn't take but a few hours to re-enter them. Will start backing up my database though, just in case. Thanks!
