How to restore a missing satellite

I thought I would have a look to see what is on Eurobird 9 at 9E but at some time in the past I appear to have accidently deleted this satellite from my DM 7000S it as there is a gap in the satellite list between Eutelsat W3 at 7E and Eutelsat W1 at 10E.
How can I get this sat back without risking any of other settings?

Thanks

Having just posted this thread I remembered satellite.xml. I have just looked in satellite.xml and Eurobird 9 is missing. I need to find a recent version of satellite.xml so I can copy the Eurobird 9 details

My System: Sky UK. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 6 fixed dishes (5E/7E/9E/10E/13E/16E/ 19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S

Just stick the frequencies into 10E. EB9 is so powerful a degree out wont make any difference.

Thanks Analoguesat - I had thought of that and there is nothing on 10E to watch.
However I now realise that 9E is a new satellite and it was never in my original configuration. What threw me was that Pli don't provide a facility to add new satellites.
I have now fixed it. For the benefits of others this is how i did it. From another post I found the link to **tp://www.satellites-xml.eu/ and I downloaded the transponder settings for 9E. I inserted 9E settings into to my satellites.xml and copied it to var/etc.
I rebooted the Dreambox and then I was able to add 9E to my motorised settings and then scan it.

My System: DM 600-S, AB IPBox 9000HD, Moteck SG2100, Fracarro Penta 85 dish, + some puters

If you still want a new satellites.xml file, look here.
_http://satellites-xml.eu/
You can create a custom satellites.xml file.

Back up the old one if you are worried about loosing settings.

EDIT:
I was too slow

Thanks anyway Compufunk.
It was years ago that I set up my DM 7000 and I forgot some of the basics
