I concur with Jim's advice. I recently did a restore (of a 1.5) and all went quite smoothly. However, at some point you must go in and edit your configuration.php file (using an ftp client) to match your database information as the two times I've done this restore, through a move and through a rebuild, the database information has been left blank. I had to enter the username, the name of the database, and further down near the end of the config file I needed to enter the password for the database. Be sure you have that information on hand. Or check with Jim :)) or Michael Bendorf who seem to have a good handle on these things. I am a Joomla learner.

Then after the Joomla 1.0 site is back up, then go through the upgrade process to move to 1.5.
