    Ok, after learning the facts that my backups were not working, I am left with a problem.

    My so-called backup database contians all the old information. I can verify that all my blogs are still in there with everything else. I can see all this information in the main_ tables

    However, the wp_ tables contain information for a brand new install.

    Is there any way I can fix my site to bring up the old information that is still in the database?

    What Happened
    Server crashed. All files lost. Database supposedly backedup on server.

    Re-installed 2.3.2. However, the install process over wrote specific entries in my database. Now, my site only points to a brand new blog site.

    Fixed it.

    I dumped a new copy of 2.3.2 on the server.

    Ran the config process. While editing the database name, user ID and password, I just updated the table prefix name.

    Done.

    You're at the wrong site I'm afraid. Wordpress support is over at http://wordpress.org/support These forums are for WordPress Multiuser, a different piece of software.
