Unfortunately our database has been wiped and we have no backups. I was running multi-site with about 3 sites and this is a big problem.
I know there is no way to get the database back but was wondering what the best option is now. If I can get the current wordpress to function again (minus content) then things will be a lot easier to us. I don't know if this is possible as making a new database with the same name just causes a redirect loop.
Will we have to start a fresh wordpress install or is there away to repopulate the new database??
Do your hosts have a backup?

No we have tried everything backup wise, the question now is if I can somehow put a fresh database in so that this wordpress will function again.
Given that you keep hitting a re-direction Loop. I think you'd be better off with a fresh install. You should just be able to edit wp-config.php to point to a new db & user..

Ok so I need to reinstall wordpress, or just create a new database?
Create the new database, amend wp-config.php and run wp-admin/install.php.

Ran install, and it appeared to work. But there are still redirect loops on every page. :S
This is where it seems to always redirect to:
http://example.com/wp-signup.php?new=example.com
Solution:
Edited wp-config file to remove all references to wp network. Have to install network from scratch.
