Hi I am not using Legato backup client. What I have is only a copy of the user /mail/imap/spool/user/sam directory.
eg.

Can I just copy the older fodlers/files from the backup server to the production mail server and execute steps 12 and 13 as you mentioned below?

I found that reconstruct didn't work quite right unless I only had the message files and the cyrus.header file (don't copy over the other cyrus.xxx files).

Don't forget to set the unix ownership and permissions to whatever your cyrus user is.
