A client has mistakenly deleted some member accounts from their site which are populated with member-generated content. Is there any way to do recover these deleted nodes? I don't think it is possible via the recycle bin - is a DB backup the only option?
Besides restoring the complete DB back-up (which you should have ofcourse), another option would be to try to transfer members from the backup to the current DB with some C# code.
I like that idea kipusoep - you mean having a second connection string, retrieving the member properties from one and saving into the other? Sounds plausible, not sure how I would switch between the Umbraco back ends though, and suggestions for that bit?
What I'd do is load all the missing members from the back-up, store them in some kind of serialized file (XML?), change connString to the current DB, read the previous mentioned file and add them to the current DB.

Members don't have a recycle bin so I think a DB backup is the only option.
