You might not have copied and restored the .htaccess file which comes with Drupal.

Neil

I copied and restored whole drupal folder so i guess there is no point of missing .htaccess file
i used
cp -r /var/www/drupal/ ~/DATA     (for backup)
cp -r ~/DATA/drupal /var/www      (for restoring)

Note that cp does not copy "hidden" files (files that begin with .) by default.
Since you specified /var/www/drupal/ (with the trailing /) it only selected the "normal" files in that directory. I think if you had specified the source as /var/www/drupal (with without the slash) then you get the hidden files.
