[opencms-dev] rebuild from db backup

[Arash Kaffamanesh]

Hi,
You must restore your opencms-*.xml files too, the most important file is opencms-modules.xml file and also the modules.
You don't have any backup of your webapp?
If not, make a fresh installation with a new database, then switch to your backup DB and export the module and reimport it again, but if you had some custom widgets or other classes which had been defined in opencms-vfs.xml or other config files, it might be very hard to restore the whole thing!
Good luck!
Best, Arash

So my OpenCMS server took a hard drive related nosedive overnight.

I *do* have a complete backup of the database contents.  (Yay!)

Can I just do a fresh install of the same version of OpenCMS on new
hardware, stop Tomcat, restore the database contents, restart Tomcat,
and be back in business?  Or are there other steps that I might be
overlooking?
