    files.

    just restore a backup or dump some files in from a new install.

    In this case no that won't work. I was have some trouble
    with miss configuration, so I deleted all the message areas
    and files, and re created the areas. The re built the files
    with scfg -f -a, worked great. Then just sent rescans to my
    feeds to re capture all the messages. BOOM! back up.


    scfg creates rolling backups in that directory.
    make sure you write a script to do weekly backups and upload it to some external source so you wont end up like a stupid sysop who 'lost everything
    in a crash'.
