Drupal Recovery

Long Story short I need to recover a Bitnami Drupal 6 Stack installation. I have the entire directory that needs to be recovered.

I want to install this directory on a new machine. When I run the Bitnami installer it creates a new directory. Simply replacing the contents of the newly created directory with the contents of the directory I want to restore does not seem to work. Any thoughts?

Please check the following link that ti shows how to create a full backup (the entire directory) and recover it http://wiki.bitnami.com/Native_Installers_Quick_Start_Guide#How_can_I_create_a_full_backup_of_a_Stack.3f
