Hello Renè,

due the nature of Joomla, it's not possible to restore a single menu entry or menu article.
Every item is tied to Joomla user, which in turn is tied to the ACL system (groups, level access and permissions).
This means that you can't just pick a single item and put it into a new site.

What we suggest to do, however, is to restore your site locally, and then copy/paste the items you need.

Hallo David,

The Invalid address error seems to come from JMail.
Please double check that your Super Administrator password and site Email from fields have the correct email address (not empty).
Since you can't access your site, you'll have to manually check the configuration.php file and the Super User row inside the database.
