 * Hi,
 * I still have all the files in CP file manager but I accidently deleted the database
   to one of my WordPress sites.
 * Is there a solution?
 * Thanks!

 * So after you rebuild your site, you’ll have learned the painful lesson 🙂 and
   🙁
 * Install a backup plugin and set it to run on a regular basis.

 * Well, as well as that backup I could have/should have done what I normally do
   before updating the site auto and grabbed the XML file in settings. That way 
   I could have created a new Instance of that site then got the XML and hey presto..
 * Tearful voice; why did’nt I do that today, so out of character Sterndata.
 * Thanks again, and for the advice.

 * When you do install a backup plugin, ensure it’s set to make automatic regular
   full backups (all data, all files).
