i don't even care much because i should have verified my backups.
This.
Create a forum backup on your HD, then write a script and set it to execute every night. A simple one that just reapplies latest patch on the local HD forum and prints just some basic stuff , e.g date and total posts.
You will only have to check the .txt output in the morning and see if it works.
If you haven't already done that by now! 
ya, that wouldnt have worked unless i had been verifying the backups, because, i was using the same exact process as ive always used, which has always worked, until we put that site on that uptimevps hosting.. so i didnt think for one second that the backups were wrecked.. whack!
BTW its still Adam Lickmyboner's fault , nothing would have happened if we were still on bluehost! 
yup, completely agree.. ;/
whats the website for uptimevps.com i can't seem to find it. 
If you want i can track him
... or her or whoever owns the site for you name, personal details.

hah thanks man, but nah we're good.. we'll let that one go.. thousands of people are hunting him down who were done far more dirty than me so, uptimevps & whoever ran it will get there's, that's for sure.. people are pissed.
pc !
