I killed the gallery!

We just upgraded servers and moved hosts. But after the transfer, my gallery stopped uploading files. So I tried uninstalling then reinstalling. And in this process, I killed the entire gallery!

I already filled out a support ticket, but are there any hope of restoring or salvaging my gallery?

Uninstalling the gallery is going to kill all of your database entries. Your only chance of getting them back would be a backup from your old host.

Oh man!

I don't have access to the old host server, but I do have a backup of the vb DB from the transfer over the weekend. Is there any way of extracting the gallery entries from there? Would I have to ask the host to create a new database with it, and then extract the info?
