Yes this is fairly easy. When you run nsrck -L7 clientname, it merges an
index backup into the existing index. So this gives you a couple of
options. If you have an index backup from just before the old indices
were moved away you could just run nsrck -L7 specifying the date of the
backed up index. Otherwise you could swap the indices over (move the old
one into place) and run nsrck -L7 on a recent index backup.
