How to retrieve a deleted MySQL dbase?

[tspsjapan]

I mistakenly deleted a database and would like to retrieve it. I assume there is a backup somewhere. Any hints as to how to retrieve it?

Thanks for any help provided.

Warren,

A listed contact for the account in question would have to write to the Service desk with specifics. Service@FutureQuest.net

Note that we do back up both web files and MySQL databases nightly however they are meant for restoration in the event of a catastrophic server issue and not for individual site restoration purposes.

We usually can restore databases from the most recent backup, usually about 2 - 3 AM ET the night before however there is a service fee.

Hi Warren,

You could install a backup script like REOBACK on your webserver. I've installed it on a customers package to do nightly backups of the webfiles and database. The backup files (tar) are then transfered via FTP to another server
