Hi,

I too have faced these type of hack issues from my webhosting servers. Which is quite natural that we cannot avoid. So, now you are in a loop.
1) Do you have an local backup or else do you have a separate server for the backups?
2) What is the format of the backup files?
3) You can use the Netcat command to transfer the files from one server to another. Here below the link

A Unix Utility You Should Know About: Netcat - good coders code, great reuse

Or else you can use the rsync command to transfer the files from one server to another in a quite time rather than upload and download.
4) I hope that every thing is been clear on the documentation, on how to restore from the backup.

BACKUP_DELDUMP(8)					       AFS Command Reference						 BACKUP_DELDUMP(8)

NAME

       backup_deldump - Deletes a dump level from the Backup Database

SYNOPSIS

       backup deldump -dump <dump level name> [-localauth]
	   [-cell <cell name>] [-help]

       backup deld -d <dump level name> [-l]
	   [-c <cell name>] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The backup deldump command deletes the indicated dump level and all of its child dump levels from the dump hierarchy in the Backup
       Database. Use the backup listdumps command to display the dump hierarchy.

OPTIONS

       -dump <dump level name>
	   Specifies the complete pathname of the dump level to delete.

       -localauth
	   Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. The backup command interpreter presents it to
	   the Backup Server, Volume Server and VL Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell argument. For more
	   details, see backup(8).

       -cell <cell name>
	   Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see backup(8).

       -help
	   Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

EXAMPLES

       The following command deletes the dump level "/sunday1/monday1" from the dump hierarchy, along with any of its child dump levels.

	  % backup deldump /sunday1/monday1

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

       The issuer must be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on every machine where the Backup Server is running, or must be logged
       onto a server machine as the local superuser "root" if the -localauth flag is included.
