It's ok, I'm not a n00b, I'm just rusty on the admin side. I spend my time writing code these days.

For what its worth, I personally found the SQL restore method to be the most reliable and flexible MOSS backup/recovery method I tested..

I'm a little rusty on sharepoint administration these days, it's been a while since I've broken a installation. Thanks for the help, I'll let you know how it goes.

I'm on a client site where the only backups were done at SQL level, not through STS admin and even then not every file was backed up. Not fun. I've been building up a VM which *should* have a similar configuration as the old site. I'm about to see if you can create a empty site with the same name and switch the database files while the service is offline. Tzunami looks neat, though it doesn't mention anything about fixing broken installs, mainly about creating/migration new sites.

Not fun but should work. That is create a new site, do a restore and you should be fine. or you can try a tool such as Tzunami (i think that what it was called) that might help. hth.

They have the database files for the site, but the configuration database is gone and is not coming back. Does anyone know if there is a tool available to extract the documents from the DB?
