I accidentally deleted some important installation files updating via FTP. (Normally my FTP program transmit did not delete them for my drupal files so I didn't notice)
How can I rebuild them? - probably the sites and themes folders . I have the SQL database.

Hi pwarwick.
What exactly do you mean by "installation files"?
If you are talking about files specific to your site, such as the files or folders inside the "files", "themes" or "site" folders, you will need to restore a backup (hopefully you have one?).
If you are talking about any Backdrop-provided files or folders inside the "core" folder, then you can reinstall those - typically using File manager in cPanel from your hosting server, and putting in there the files and folders you get when you download and unzip the Backdrop codebase.
If you are talking about the settings.php file, you'll need to use File manager to copy the file from a clean download of the BAckdrop codebase, and then make sure to set up the name, username and password for the database and the correct name and location for your active and staging config folders.
I decided to go back to square one (i.e. restore the entire files) and then be more careful with FTP.
Thanks
