Yes. Stop Dnews and copy the db*.itm files back into your spool
directory ensureing there are no naming conflicts. Also
check the files are all still owned and read/writeable by the user
news. Then start Dnews and issue the following commands...
tellnews check_buckets
tellnews rebuild_index
Check the output of tellnews status to see when the rebuild_index has
finished. Let us know if you have any questions.
Regards,
Brian
