Chris,

OK, I will stop intermapper and restore that map.

That will be OK for us.

Thanks,

Steve

Actually the more that I think about this:

...the more I think this may be more difficult, if not impossible. 
Deleting a chart in InterMapper won't actually remove the file, so if 
you were to simply restart the chart, the old data would still be 
there, and hence the backup isn't going to help. Because you removed 
the device and readded it, when you started the chart again, the new 
chart received a new filename.

Now, this new filename would probably be the highest version of x for 
Lx in my example before, but that still doesn't tell us what the name 
of the previous instance was. You might be able to tell by the last 
modified date, and you might not. If you could figure it out, you 
could stop intermapperd, rename the old version to the new name, and 
restart, and it would probably work.

The best thing may be to restore the map file in question from a 
backup made before you deleted and readded the device. Then you 
should be able to restart the chart, have a gap where SNMP wasn't 
working, but see old data before SNMP stopped working and new data 
going forward.
