I can't remember how to restore forum using backup, but the best way to get rid of spammers is to have a all people who want to join be accepted  thru a question and answer letter that they email to you, proving why they should be allowed to be a member in good faith of your forum. You then have to accept and manually set up their account, or reject them.  Banning by IP address is not very good when the internet company uses "dynamic" IP addresses that change every time one resets their "modem".  I could ban myself because of that as a hacker did hack thru a charter companie's IP address holding, and did crap. However, I think they caught that guy, as he's not done anything thru charter since, that I could find.
