Restore a sharepoint 2.0 site

I walked into a clients office today where someone has deleted a folder in sharepoint 2.0.  The previous "consultant" didn't set up backup for sharepoint instead was using ntbackup.  My guess was I'll need to do a complete restore to a separate server, bring up sharepoint, export the folder, and restore to their live environment.  Does anyone have any other guidance to this situation.

The sharepoint install was done quite plain-jane.  No customizations at all, don't think the previous knew what he was doing.

Does NTBackup backup the SQL databases? Or did it just backup the sql database files? All content is stored in the SQL database so you need to recover that.

Is it as simple as pointing sharepoint to the database file then?  I seem to remember that sharepoint is a bit more intergrated into the OS than that.

I wouldn't use the word "simple" :)

Theoretically, I guess you can spin up another web application on your Production server and point the webapp at the restored copy of the content db. However, I wouldn't recommend doing that on your production system. Probably best to build out a recovery environment.

All really pointless, if you don't have a good backup of the content database though. So does NTBackup backup the SQL database? I highly doubt it.
