I went to the 1&1 control panel to order the backup service one day. It went through and they said everything was fine. As you pointed out, never did they mention that it needed further configuration. The databases were in MySQL...I'm not familiar with the extensions you mentioned. However, I've already managed to rebuild most of the structures for them. The server re-image pretty much wiped out all the data. I appreciate your offer for help, but I've already moved to a new server and have almost everything back up and running. Thanks for stopping by!

Secondly, you can boot your 1and1 server with a rescue system which will allow you to copy files off.. Also your databases can be recovered if you still have the *.MYI,*.MYD and *.frm files. Feel free to add me to MSN/email if you would like some help with this Regards, Rick Hi,
