Re: [cobalt-users] Restoring Users

[josh <josh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have never successfully used the raqbackup scripts though I have
learned a lot from their webpage and I had some success with the cmu
utility - by using the versions on the raqbackup page. You can find
the url in the archives - I'm doing this from memory.
 
CMU does seem to preserve mailing lists, passwords, and users. It can
mess up symlinks royally, and the procedures is not perfect.
