Should it be able to restore a backup done from a very old version on to a fresh loaded version?
I have a snapshot from just after qtp being loaded and before migration attempts. After I transfer the queue to the old server (so I can get mail online again for a short while), I'll roll back to that snapshot and take a screen cap or two when I try that again.

It'd be nice you could reproduce this error (on a clean COS5 toaster) so we could fix whatever the problem is. qtp-restore doesn't have any issues that we're (I'm) aware of. > After it > showing this error repeatedly (didn't write it down) for :30, I killed > it, restored a snapshot, and tried a manual migration. > > Thank you, > Patrick Ring > -- -Eric 'shubes' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------- Managed Qmailtoaster servers are now available Visit http://qmailtoaster.com/QMTManaged.html to order yours today!
