restoring from mailbfr backups

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? -Preston
