Migration failed, how to restore OpenDirectory from TimeMachine backup?

I migrated a Mac OS X server 10.6.3 installation that used to be running on a VMWare Fusion virtualized machine to a new computer. After the installation, I used the transfer settings from another computer or TimeMachine backup to set up the new machine, or so I thought. The setup process was busy for a long time (slogin was possible after a while, so I could monitor what was going on from the command line). In the middle of, or shortly after migrating the IMAP database and a few GB worth of mail, the migration failed, and the installer requested me to reboot. The system booted up normally, except that OpenDirectory information was not present. So while the mail database is there, there are no mail users, and no network user accounts present. I see that in the root of each TimeMachine backup there is a hidden folder named .ServerBackups which contains the configuration of the various services. [b]what script does TimeMachine use to use the contents of these folders to reconfigure a machine, when a machine is restored entirely from backup?[/b] I basically need to know this script, and hopefully I can use that to restore the missing pieces in this puzzle, like my OpenDirectory and Mail configuration... It's also pretty bad that Apple's migration just dies. This is a server that was fully functional before the migration, so the data should be backed up properly by TimeMachine (unless there's a bug there) and thus should not crash the installer attempting to restore that data. This is fairly urgent, since due to a variety of complications this has been taking longer than it should have, and I'm likely starting to permanently bounce mail soon, if I can't get this fixed :roll: Alternatively, are there scrips or procedures by means of which I can use the data on these TimeMachine backups to get things going again?
