I think the 4.x to 5.0 upgrade (which happened awhile ago) clobbered my Blog (and Wiki and Repository) data.  I don't have access to SQL or the physical host, so my research has been limited.  The Repository data is in a portal folder, so that's not a serious problem, but can someone guide me (or guide the next person up the org chart) how to see if the data is just "unlinked" or lost?  Is there an SQL report I can run to look for stuff?  The blog data would have been wherever the default settings put them.

How does one get an answer to a post?  Since the split of the product, the free version support has dried up completely...

You should provide more info in your posts. Why do you think your data is lost. what happens, etc. Posting vague forum posts will get you little to no response. Be more descriptive, what happened, what is missing, what have you done to test, etc.

I didn't post any more information because I have none to add.  I have a free site which I volunteer manage and my hosting provider provides a gratis server.  I don't manage the server and do not have logon privileges to the server.  A user mentioned a lot was missing, and I discovered the Blog, Wiki, and Repository were all empty.  Several upgrades were done between the time it was there and when it disappeared, including 4.9x to 5.0x.  It's been gone for probably weeks (now months) so any SQL backup would probably be so stale it would be a mess for other portals.

I found that the Repository data actually still existed in the portal file structure, but I can find no trace of the Blog or Wiki data.  If someone could describe how/where the Blog (and Wiki) data are stored, I might be able to help my hosting provider poke around in the SQL database, if that's where it lives.

An SQL query that I could run as Admin or Host would be a great help as well.

I guess you are on a shared DotNetNuke hosting, is that right?  Basicly only a Systemadministrator who should be the hoster should have access to the sql script on DNN.  If you have a complete Windowshosting you should also have access to the database and files using FTP and MS-SQL Management Studio (Expess).

If you on a shared DNN-Hosting where are more then one portals are using, and all Administrators have access to the DNN SQL execution anyone can manipulate your data they have also a portal on the same DotNetNuke instance.  Also all Modules then are shared. 

Sou you must please clear how you are using DotNetNuke and what are your role on the Portal or DNN instance.
