All of the lost posts easily? No. We are still waiting for the last good backup (from about 2 years ago) to bring all of the posts for the users affected from that to the current site. That would restore a vast majority of the missing posts. After that it is about restoring the other missing posts one by one. The aren't gone, but a lot of the IDs related to them are missing. I believe the user and threadID are missing. 

Out of curiosity, is the team looking into getting a more......reliable and consistent backup source for the site? lol

The site was backed up daily, but the backup drive apparently was full and was causing the backups to be corrupted. JLauro has cleared space and I think fixed it from being an issue in the future. Plus the ability to completely remove a user and all their posts has been removed.
