Re: oops...

It was my impression that they would restore the data base to the pre-erasure status and then run the transaction logs accumulated since then to update it with the new and revised records. At which time they can correct as many of the mis-coded records, take a new backup, run the revised deletion script, and express horror at the records that are now being incorrectly removed.
