Anyone have any pointers? The script I tried did not work. I backed up the following directories/files:

#cron jobs
cp -Rf --preserve /etc/cron.d/mailman $temp/cron
cp -Rf --preserve /etc/cron.d/groupware-notification $temp/cron

# Mailman Files
cp -Rf --preserve /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py $temp/mailman
cp -Rf --preserve /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py $temp/mailman

# Mailman dir
cp -Rf --preserve /var/lib/mailman/ $temp/mailman

I installed mailman on a new machine 2.1.1-91 and all is fine. I restored the directories/files above and if I go to localhost/mailman/listinfo it does not list the mailing lists even though they are setup.

However, if I go to the specific url for each list, i.e. localhost/mailman/listinfo/staff , the list shows.

And, yes, I checked and they are all set to be viewable on the listinfo page. Since I copied all the settings, they should be the same as on the original system.

In essense, How the heck do you backup and restore Mailman with all the lists/mail/archives?
