Hi Michael,
That's pretty much the problem - the site looks fine, but when I tried to create a new page that uses any content types, it simply says that it can't find the content type. However! To be perfectly honest, I ran out of ideas for it yesterday (I didn't find that article you linked!) so I went home, but on coming back to the problem this morning, I discovered that all the content types had just "appeared". Everyone here swears they didn't touch it, and there are no content deployments to those servers. Nothing has happened on the SQL servers except their usual backup tasks. All I can think of is maybe a timer job ran in the background and did the trick or something else that Sharepoint may/may not do overnight. I wish I knew what it was for next time, but am still grateful it sorted itself out!

We then use stsadm -o restore -url http://dev <http://svmossdev/> intranet -filename C:\intranet.bak -overwrite to restore a copy to our development boxes to work on. Normally this works without a hitch. Except now, where the content types have been wiped out rather than restored. I've double checked that the content types are still okay on the live box (yes they are, phew), but going to the dev box, the entire content types list is empty, including the ones that are usually there by default. No errors were returned by either of the stsadm commands besides the usual "Operation completed successfully". Has anyone had this problem and how did you fix it? Otherwise, is there a way to quickly restore content types from another site??
