    I've never been good a dealing with the aftermath of purple alerts,
    and always end-up using brute-force to remove all hostname
    references in $XYMON/data. But this time I really screwed-up and ran

    bb 127.0.0.1 "drop HOSTNAME TEST"

    for the purple-affected hosts... and now I can't get 'em back!

    I need help/suggestions/advice

    TIA!


Forget any mention of "purple".

How do I reverse the effects of the aforementioned command? In other
words, how do I undo a "dropped" test?
With a good backup, if I'm not mistaken. I believe the drop command gets
all of the data removed from disk.
