my bad, I did backup the checkpoint installation through voyager, but the
backup from the previous week was bad, so I have to go back to two weeks

I have never done a restore using Voyager before, we ship our backups to a
remote FTP server.

Many thanks,

year), maybe even before I applied the HFA_02, do you think copying this
back would work? I know I maybe missing some objects or rules, but that I
can deal with.
