Upgrading problems: IMAP recovery

[Saim Kim]

Hello,

after succesfully importing the LDAP backup from the old server with 
your help, I'm now struggeling with the import of the annotations.db 
file. I checked the mailing list and found several remarks on how to 
backup the file and the possibilty on just copying the file from a 
backup. Unfortunatly, the copying didn't do as hoped. After copying I 
ran the  cyrreconstruct as kolab-r. That didn't change anything -the 
calendars were still not visible. A manual typesetting to event with the 
mboxcfg successfully restored a user calendar. For about 30+ users this 
would be cumbersome...

I tried to export the annotations.db to skiplist format using the 
cvt_cyrusdb on the source machine and convert it on the destination 
machine back to berkeley format. Then I would run the cyrreconstruct 
command as kolab-r. All the mailboxes are listed but if I check them 
with "info" from the cyradm interface the kolab specific annotations are 
missing.

So, in essence: Is there a recommanded way of recovering the 
annotations.db like the mailbox.db? I tried to convert to flat format 
and then back to berkeley format but I would get an error message: 
"Converting from /kolab/var/imapd/annotations.db (berkeley) to 
/tmp/annotest.test (flat) Warning: apparently empty database converted."

Thanks for your help!

Saim
