[MacTUG] A really BIG Ouch!

[Donald Duff-McCracken]

OK, I was a bonehead, but now how do I recover from this one?

I was in workgroup manager and was intending to delete a computer from a group but accidentally deleted the group (I think my brain processed the "are you sure you want to delete this group" message .0001 seconds after I clicked the OK button!!!

I have a time machine backup. I guess I could totally restore my server from the time machine backup (which would fix my problem) but this is really to drastic.

Does anyone know how I can just restore the workgroup manager info?

I could redo the group but I am concerned that I might miss some MCX twiddling that I did. I guess I could restore the time machine backup an external disk, and boot from it to see how I had my group configured and then go from there, but that seems a little bit of a pain.

Any suggestions out there — other than 'Read the @#$#$#@$ messages before you click the OK button!!"
