The way I handle this in a multi-master setup is: 1. Restore machine 1 from backup 2. Re-initialize machines 2-4 from machine 1 I have written a perl script (and a module) which completely handles an MMR restore job over-the-wire. Restoring a 4-way MMR setup with 10k entries takes less than 5 minutes. I am the process of trying to open-source this tool (among others), but it may take a long time or may not happen at all. You can find out how to write it yourself by driving the operations with the admin console and sniffing the traffic with ethereal. Only suffixes can be restored from backup. If you have built your subtrees as suffixes, then you can restore at the subtree level. BR, Mike
