Reinstall advice urgently needed

[Drunkguy]

Hi everybody.
I need some help. Zen Ver 1.38
Im hosted at godaddy/shared linux with ssl cert. numerous addons that work fine. I used the Free Red template originaly.

My url
www.angiejolee.com/store/


I think I need to reintall zencart or replace all the files to start fresh with no templates or addons and KEEP the database.
Being GoDaddy/shared hosted, the db is hosted on another server. I have made a full db backup including tables as outlined here on this forum but have not tested whether the db can be imported sucessfully (or even restore the db for that matter.)

I have read caveats here that some info related to the template I was using is now stored in the database and my site may have problems displaying unless I use the same template.

I want to use a different template (cherry-zen) which I have a local zen setup with the demo DB and a couple addons.

What is the best course of action in this case? Keeping MY db is a must!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
