I restored all system & application databases from backup to a brand new server, but the triggers weren't restored. How do I go about getting my triggers back?
Thank you

When a backup is restored the DB is recreated in exactly the same state it was at the time it was backed up. If there are no triggers in the restored database either there were no triggers in the DB at the time it was backed up or they were dropped after the restore completed.

I agree with Gail here.
If you restored the system databases, then any server scoped DDL triggers would have been restored. If you restored User databases, then database scoped DDL triggers and DML triggers would have been restored.
If you have no triggers in the restored database, then they weren't in the original database.

You say "restore" but did you run a command BACKUP DATABASE and a command RESTORE DATABASE or did you use some sort of migration routine or the Copy Database wizard? If you did a backup and a restore, as Gail & Cirque have already said, it's an exact copy.
