Lost ALL subscriptions
 

Where are the subscriptions specified?

I have a multiboot system, and I stupidly cleared the accounts in one
system, forgetting that the accounts were shared amongst all the systems.

So, I've restored the accounts, as I had saved the .iaf files, but how can I
restore the subscriptions?

Klutzingly yours

I was not looking for a way to manually add subscriptions.

Someplace, there has to be a file that maintains the list of subscriptions.
If I can find that file, I can restore it from a backup.

They are stored in the registry.

In much less time than it took you to do all that you could have gone to
Tools Newsgroups, re-subscribed and caught up.

No way.

The NG subscription information is stored in folders.dbx. However, if you
shared the store across platforms and wiped out the accounts, then that will
be reflected in changes to folders.dbx, so its unlikely that you will be
able to recover from that.

If you had backed up both the registry settings and the message store
previously, then you could have restored things.

I have the Message Store from the backup media, but restoring the registry
settings might be hard. Don't know if I can recover them from the backup
media.

Whew!

I got lucky!

At the time I made all the OS share the Message Store and OE settings, I had
created files withthe registry settings.
Applying tose files to each OS puts things almost back to square 1 (o, if
you are a programmer).

So next step, on the main OS, is to verify that all subscriptions are
included, etc.
Then create new .reg files and apply them to the other OS.

I got lucky!

Hello,

Even if the file is erased it can still be restored with data recovery
tools such as Active@ Undelete or Uneraser. These are truly mighty
tools that never failed me before, so I'm pretty sure you will find it
really useful.

Its often better to delete the keys in the system to which you are
importing, prior to the import.

You forgot one other thing:

Time to backup.
