 According to the Berkeley DB documentation, you need to restore backups 
of your database log files from the time of your last full backup of the 
db all the way up to the point in time to which you want to restore.  Then 
fire up your database application (Citadel server) and it'll play back the 
logs and bring things up to normal operation.  
   
 If you don't have good backups, however, and you have already deleted 
some of the log files since the last flush, then your database may be 
irrevocably corrupted.
