Hello,
I need to restore my system from a backup. Can I just restore the DNEWS directory? Will all groups with it's messages be restored this way? I use Dnews 5.6f3
In general restore
db*.itm (into the original spool directories, and on unix set the ownership correctly)
then do a tellnews rebuild_index
If you restore the entire dnews directory and spool and work etc, then the rebuild is not
needed.
Ok, thank you.
Is there a simple way to move from DNews Winddows -> DNews Linux. I want to keep settings and databases.
You can copy the files across, or suck the news across, both methods are described on these web pages: http://netwinsite.com/dnews/faq3.htm#10 http://netwinsite.com/dnews/faq3.htm#suck
