System hacked, need to reinstall

[Gorgon@]

Hi folks,

I did searches in the forums and couldn't find the appropriate answer.

My system was hacked I am forced to reinstall the OS (RHES3). Once that is done, I'm curious what the best procedure would be to get Plesk up and running again.

I have all of the user data and dumps of the psa database. Should I just reinstall plesk and then load up the database from backup?

thanks,
mikeS

What format is the backup in? Would it be possible to restore the old drive as secondary then copy the files across from there?
