Backup SQL does not restore forum?

your going to need a good backup. it is important that once your site is up, you need to backup the system and then try the backup so you know it is good, its all very risky business when it comes to retoring a data base, unless you really know what your doing.

the file could be corrupt , your connection may be bad ...reupload it until it works..

I use VSA auto backup and it works but you will have to rename the backups to your database name its not a one button process by any means.

it backs up your database daily at 6 in the morning. you should keep at least 2 weeks of backups on the hard drive, that gives you some options when something like this happens. also you need to know when versions are compromised, not sure if 407 is but i know a lower version is compromised and that's why new versions come out. I want to say 4.0.2 was the one but ....

not sure about that I run the newest versions I would if i was you go ahead and go to at least 4.1.1 since your down..im still debating about this latest version as i have some weird stuff happening on my own site with 4.1.2

one more thing if you were attacked that means to do what your saying they did you had to lose control of FTP, you need to fix that right now or it will happen again

Does your HOST do an auto back up of your whole Directory Check for that
