not until Ben is able to get data off the server, which something is happening right now with it, errors again
Yes you are right. This is assuming he is trying to restore his production environment which would be a waste of time as he appears to be waiting for godaddy to prepare his dedicated server. Please see reply to MonsterTKE below.
He could always dump the SQL off the server and load it into a local development site.
Yes you are right. He could restore his MYSQL DB on a local dev environment assuming he has a local dev environment and then he would have to have a DBA/SQL Developer write reports/views/queries to extract the pertinent info from the DB or install/configure his apps (Xcart, JBoss, Websphere, Weblogic etc..) to get access to and log in to retrieve the orders. I don't want to assume but probability is high that he's not a middleware/SQL expert and would have to pay a high $ consultant to do this. See reply to michaelg04 above.
I would bet a 100 ml of Boba's that he's sitting, staring at his cell phone waiting for said high $ consultant to call and tell him the server is back up. The fact that the current server which avejuice.com is pointing is showing the "closed page" and that if you navigate to
www.avejuice.com/login.php is returning errors does not indicate any sort of progress or lack thereof as all of this work is probably being done and should be done on a non public server if his main goal at this point is to extract orders while waiting for the dedicated server to be available from godaddy... IMHO.
Edit:
After posting this I rechecked the AVE site and it now states that they will be open again tomorrow at 8am instead of they will be closed for a while. Take what you want out of that.
