Server hacked all images gone

[rsunny2012]

Hello,

My server got hacked and I see all my 300gb worth of images were deleted. I have database backup of the website

Is there a way that I will install new fresh site and can I import users only from the old fb and I will let all users know
Will this be possible ?

Yes, this is %100 possible. May require users to reset passwords however

i dont want to upload whole db as db has references to files as well right ?

or should i add whole db and empty the files table ?

If the files are gone and there's no backup for these files then you should be truncating the images table. If the table is huge you may truncate before doing the migration.

currently i have installed brand new 4.5.2. after that i dropped the existing database and restore the db which i had. after restore it asked me to enter admin userid , password and email id. once login i dont see any new users nothing. but in database i can see users and there details, settings information etc

how can i see it on the website ?

You will need to review connections, table prefix and cache to make sure it reflects your current database.
