The only way to get it back is if you have a backup of the database. Do you?

Yes, you may use a database backup from yesterday. You won't have the posts from today, but that is better than having nothing.

If you do not already have the backup and your host does not have it, then your at the end of the road.

If you do have the backup, you need to import it into your DB via biggdump, commandline or something of the sort.

Without a backup, all you can do is install the software again and start over.

You should never rely on your hosting provider to create backups for you. They are more concerned about backing up your server and not your site. So while they could do a full restore of the server itself, they can't just restore your site. You need to make periodic backups of your data to keep it safe.

Wish the answer was different but not really much more anyone can do.

Did they say why they can't restore the backup? Is it because they don't have one either? You seriously have no backup at all of your database that you made before an upgrade or something?

99% of all shared hosting providers do not make backups of individual accounts. They make backups of the entire server. The backups are primarily to cover their own butts in case of server failure, not to restore an individual site if it has a problem.
