My VPS provider had some difficulties and long story short, I'm left with a clean Debian 6.0 installation and a folder full of the filesystem of the VPS before the reinstallation.
How do I restore all the data? This includes MySQL databases, an entire mail server configuration and all the relevant programs, and a web server. Of course, it also includes all of /bin, all of /sbin, etc. Is it just a case of FTPing it all over, or is there more to it?
I've never attempted a recovery like this before, so excuse my ignorance.
