 * tried to restore from backups created by this plugin. Was required to “delete”
   some sort of old cache files during backup. Now database is corrupt. pages are
   missing content and hackers have placed Viagra verbiages on other pages. Disaster.
   
   Site corrupt and backups don’t work.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdatabase-corrupted-using-updraftplus%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi,
 * Deleting cache files would not have the described effect.
    When I look at your
   site, some pages appear to have a 500 internal server. Can you contact your hosts/
   server admin and ask them to check the PHP error logs. The logs should contain
   further information on the exact error that is occurring.
