Greetings -

I've been backing up my Swiki nightly using cron. I capture everything in the ComSwiki directory on down. Over the weekend the server hiccuped and everything came back except Swiki. It was missing entire Swiki webs that had been created in the past couple of months.

No problem, I think. I restore from last Friday's backup, but Swiki still won't see any recent webs.

OK, so I create one of the newer webs via admin, then stop Swiki long enough to copy the contents of that entire web directory as it was from last Friday. When Swiki is restarted, it has completely forgotten about the newly created web.

What is the correct procedure for restoring a backed up Swiki web? I think I have all the files, but I see to be missing something in the process.

Doing some experiments, I get the impression that some of the information about the Swiki webs is contained in the various files & directories, but perhaps some of the indexing is also contained in the squeak image (?) If so, since I run my Swiki w/ "-headless", what signal do I need to send to shut it down gracefully to preserve the indexing information?

thanks,
-tim
