Restoring cyrus21-imapd
Hello,
a few weeks ago I updated my imap server on sarge from cyrus-imapd to
cyrus21-imapd. Everything went quite well and was running perfectly
for a few weeks.
Yesterday I decided to purge the old cyrus packages (cyrus-imapd and
cyrus-common). I was surprised how fast 250.000 files on a reiser
filesystem can be deleted: Purging the old cyrus packages removed all
mails from /var/spool/cyrus and all db files from /var/lib/cyrus.
250.000 mails from several users were gone in a few seconds.
While I have a recent (~10 hrs old) backup of the mailspool in
/var/spool/cyrus, I do not have a backup of /var/lib/cyrus. Is there
an easy way to restore the mailboxes file and the other database
files, maybe even quote information from the data in /var/spool/cyrus?
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Jim
