Thanks. I had trouble finding instructions on how to do the mysql 
restoration,
but finally found some embedded in the make_catalog_backup script.
 
This situation arose for me because I was attempting to use bconsole to
purge some specific jobs from my catalog. I entered the 'purge' command
and chose the 'jobs' option expecting to be prompted with a list of 
job-id's,
as happens with other commands where parameters are needed.
But I didnt get the chance to choose a job-id, it just went ahead and 
started
purging the lot. Not so good, I would suggest...

Cheers,
Terry
