!@#$%

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.
