  I have a wordpress blog at apocalypsevintage.com/blog/alix
  I was trying to upgrade from 2.7 to 3 and the installation failed partway through. Unfortunately the backup I had thought completed also did not go through.
  I made a backup copy of the blog, reinstalled a fresh version of 2.7 then copied the old wp_content folder and the wp_config file into it. Now the front end of the blog works fine, looks just like it did before, but the backend is super sparse and has no way to edit any of the settings in the blog.
  Here’s a screenshot:

  Are there other files I can copy over from my post-failure-backup to get this working properly?
  Or another way to import my old content and themes and everything?

  Thanks
