Last fall I had a heck of a time with a cyrus crash and reconstructing mailboxes, etc.
Well last night I had to do a full volume restore from backup, I had a current mailbfr backup on another volume, so I was going to just restore the mail store from that backup.
But I could not get mailbfr restores to work at all (the backups have been working great for many months).
doing a:
[code]sudo /usr/sbin/mailbfr -r /path/to/mailbackup -sl[/code]
Gave an empty list of stores, and I tried giving it a path to the actual default partition in the backup, though the man page suggests that this is not needed.
Also trying a
[code]sudo /usr/sbin/mailbfr -r /path/to/mailbackup -se spamav[/code]
just results in the usage page
Has anyone succesfully used mailbfr to restore backups? Whats the trick?
A feature request if the authors see this, would be a way to restore all cyrus mail stores, without all the settings files, if you want to do this, it looks like you have to do each store separately?
