Backup

Is there any way by which I can get the database which I had created
from the Registry? Due to a sudden power failure, the MSSQL7 directory
under the C:\ drive got deleted. I had the DB backup in the BACKUP
directory but since the entire MSSQL7 directory got deleted, I have
lost the backup.
I know there isn't any way to get back the DB but still asking this
question keeping my fingers crossed.
Thanks,
ArpanWhat do you mean by "from the registry" ?

Everything is held in the data files.
A bit late now but you really should copy the backups off the machine as
soon as they are complete otherwise you are stuck if you lose the disk.
Think about why you take backups.
