I've used the old restore from last backup to restore blown databases. For us this area has been pretty reliable but the lesson over and over again is to maintain those backups.
Also, keep the restore from backup document in print and handy for the day you need to do this.
This is basic IT work. That is, your IT staffer should have the backup automated, the recovery plan written so they don't have to make it up on the fly. If the server has melted down such as a drive failure, then the next document we use is called the disaster recovery plan. At worst case you use that plan.
These plans are specific to your company.
I need an Exchange guru. The company I work for, had a corrupt DB on Exchange three days ago. Email is still not back up. Please tell me is there a way to use OWA as a work around or is that also connected to the same DB that was corrupt?
