As for the other database – it may or may not be their fault. I'm leaning towards it was their fault due to the issue when they moved servers.

Will it take me hours (days) to recreate – sure it will. But it exposes a flaw in my backup strategy – since it wasn't my personal writing, but more of lists – I'm not so upset with it being offline for awhile – I'm considering this a learning experience.
