Let's assume for the moment that the implementation of this advanced
admin procedure did something wrong to the database, and that that
left Drupal in an undefined state.

But a restore to the database should have left things as they were.

Try this:

1. Drop all the tables in the database.
2. Then restore from last week.

If that doesn't work then something is amiss in the file system or on
the server configuration. In that case, try a fresh Drupal install on
the same database. If that works then restore again.
