Major database problem

When I first installed Drupal on my server I used Simple Scripts through CPanel. Since the initial setup on my test server, I purchased the developstronger.com domain name as a subdomain on my hosting account. I copied all of the files over to the new directory and I was up and running. What I neglected to do what make a new database, so my 2 installations were using the same original database created by Simple Scripts.
In an effort to get rid of the annoying upgrade messages that I get every time I log into CPanel I was cleaning up some of my installations. You can probably see where this is going. Yes, I deleted my original Drupal install, database and all. A few hours went by and I tried to log into the site to check something out. Of course I was greeted by a whole bunch of database errors and it didn't take me long to realize what I had done.
Fortunately, I have only had this site running for a week and there were very few articles lost. I was able to recover about 80% of the content through Google's cached version of the site. Only my 2 most recent Zen Cart template articles were lost. All of my modules and themes were perfectly safe and reconfiguring everything took less than an hour.
So the lesson to be learned here is to be very careful when deleting things using Simple Scripts and more importantly, make regular database backups, especially before doing clean up work on your server.
