    The hosting company doesn't have a backup? :eek:

    Where's the "original" site stored?

    Nothing is ever really erased, take the hard drive to a data recover firm in your area and they can recover everything off of the drive, UNLESS the idiot did a NSA wipe on the drive... then it is bye bye

    The entire site only existed on that one machine? No "development" or even "old" version somewhere (anywhere!) else?

    Another reason that "friends" and business don't mix to well - They don't even have a backup disk?.......

    Good luck, cheers,
    Ian

    They do, but index file is missing or something like that, and they have some of it here and there.

    Agree.. friends and business dont go well..

    Index files can be rebuilt......

    I'm guessing from the site name it was "similar" to this - Primarily a discussion site? May have lost some posts, but I suspect the bad guys moved their crap over the top - There may well still be lots of the site still "laying around"?

    Again, good luck recovering it,
    Cheers,
    Ian

    Chances are that the hacker saved the original file somewhere - sometimes the code is still in the hacked file (commented out so it's invisible). Look to see which files were modified recently...

    Oh yeah, and don't make any more php sites. Damn things constantly get hacked by teenagers. Move to .NET

    Don't feel too bad some of the biggest sites get hacked and they spend millions in security.

    Backup is something most people learn the hard way after they lose data.

    The 1st thing you friend needs to do is work out how they were hacked so they don't come back next week and do the same **** again.

    Looking at the hacker groups previous attacks it looks like they are using RFI exploits.

    If this is the case then they might not of actually damaged the site and all the data is still there.

    I don't think a "data recovery" service is called for.... Someone who knows what they're looking at/for - Indeed.
