The server that had the Confluence site and installation was corrupted and is gone (no backup available). The database on the other hand in untouched and in working condition. When I try to install the confluence software again (created another virtual server with same hostname and ip) I get to the set up screen and it doesn't have an option to just connect to a database instead of overwriting it.

Db - MSSQL

OS - Windows Server 2016Std

What options do I have in this case?

@Hector Torres 

It will some part of your problem.

But all your attachment (confluence store them in home folder and not in database) and home data is gone.

I ended up doing as you said and I got most of the instance back. 

Thanks again.
