Not quite. More accurately, WUs _downloaded_ to clients after 11th Aug will be unknown to the (reloaded backup) database and so will be rejected.

Aug 11 2004 are not able to be returned because their database is now out of sync.

So there's no point in even running the S@H 2 client because your time will be wasted!
ARGH!

I'll add before someone else jumps in with somewhat more disparaging remarks...

Yes, they should put clear details and instructions up on:

The database has been restored and is being checked now. You may notice that message board posts made in the past week are now missing - this is because we had to fall back to an earlier copy of the database. Sorry for the inconvenience.

We are now recovering the database from a snapshot made a few days ago. This process will continue through tomorrow.

Further note in case not realised and for the sake of openness... Any WU results successfully uploaded between 11th Aug and today (19th) may well be lost also. ...unless you can resend them.
