I have inherited a tar.gz that is a supposed backup of a moodle installation that got deleted (the whole VM before I got here). The tar.gz contains directories "moodle" , "moodledata" and the file "moodle.database.mysql". There are two other tar.gz files here that one that contains the contents of the "/var/www/html/moodle/" directory and one contains the contents of the /var/moodledata/ directory.
Is there anyway we can reconstruct the course \ class structure in a new installation of moodle (preferred) or reconstruct the whole old installation?
Looking at Ubuntu Server 16.04 as the host OS for the new Moodle installation.
Thanks in advance!

Looks good! See https://docs.moodle.org/en/Site_restore. (It will jump to the latest, /33/ for example. If you have a different version, replace /33/ with /XY/ your version.)
