    1. Locate backup (which you of course have)
    2. Recover backup (which you of course have checked regularly, to verify its validity)
    3. ...
    4. Profit!

    If you don't HAVE a backup, then you're shit out of luck (well, depending on what type of rm -rf * command was run). You might be able to recover bits and pieces of the information, but if this was just the software, just do a reinstall, and set up stuff again. If you have the proper scripts in place, that should take a few hours. If not... oops.

    And really - rm -rf * BY ACCIDENT? Seriously? *headdesk*

    You're definitely out of luck if you don't have a backup. You could always send the drives away to a data recovery company ($$$$$$), but assuming this is a server you're renting, you're out of luck. This is why you take regular backups.

    Out of luck, if you are using VPS you can check in your control panel of vps such as solusvm, hypervm, etc i hope you will get a full backup in central backup, you can also contact your vps provider to check if there is a remote backup of VM's in their servers, that's why we take an external backup daily of all our customers VM's to make our customers safe as we can, i hope you will get your backup in control panel.
