So I can only blame myself. I did do regular back ups but they seem to be corrupt. Maybe the hacker was in longer than I knew and messed everything up. Try this link: http://www.google.com/search?btnG=1&q=tips+on+securing+WordPress It'll get you started. I'm reading up on a lot of technical stuff re. MySQL databases and related issues.

I use the export function to get an xml of my posts (faster to restore the posts using import) but I have been lax about doing it. I guess I need to make a schedule and stick to it. Let me know if you have a best practices or key learnings... I'd be interested as this is is always a worry. I recently had to rebuild my office computer but I had used ntbackup to save the data on an exteranl hard drive... it took me a day but I had all of my data from the previous (2 week old) backup.... never fun. Man, sorry to hear about that. I use the export function to get an xml of my posts (faster to restore the posts using import) but I have been lax about doing it.
