It may help to check out a script that can do this. You need to "rrdtool dump" the rrd database you want to restore and the corrupt database that has historical data. Then do a restore to the temp xml dump file. If it isn't working for you, let me know. Here is what to look at: http://www.geocrawler.com/mail/msg.php3?msg_id=7780536&list=1089
Sample Steps: 1. rrdtool dump corrupt.rrd >corrupt.xml 2. rrdtool dump restore.rrd >restore.xml 3. perl <script-name>.pl restore.xml corrupt.xml tmp.xml 4. rrdtool restore tmp.xml restoredvalues.rrd 5. Return to step 1 if you have more data to restore -----Original Message----- From: Brian E.

Needless to say, I have a whole load of rrd databases that became corrupted. I restored a mess of them from tape, but a couple for other users slipped through the cracks is there any way to rescue the data from them. Is there a way to splice data from two seperate databases into a good third one. I'll be very pleasently surprised if there is, but it all strikes me as a very complicated undertaking. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
