A user accidentally deleted a site this week that happens to be a top-level site. Our backup strategy has been to use SQL Server backups. Here's what I'm thinking I need to do, but is it my best option for getting the site with the security back?
1. Restore from SQL Server backup the content database to a test location.
2. Connect my test WSS to this content database.
3. Run stsadm to get a copy of the top-level site.
4. Run stsadm on the production environment to restore this top-level site.
Is there something more I need to do since its a top level site? Like something in the central administration console? If the custom web parts it uses are used on another top-level site on the same environment, do I need to reinstall them too?
