Ah, yes, that's true. Cyrus did complain about it if it did not exist, but 
I never tried delivering anything, so I didn't see cyrus create a new 
deliver.db. Checked just now, and of course it does recreate them as 
necessary. Thanks for pointing this out!

So, anyway, it seems to work now, and the only thing I did was using dump 
instead of tar. Should've known better than to use tar for DB-files, 
perhaps? With tar, ctl_cyrusdb -r core dumps signal 11, with dump/restore, 
it works.

I still get this error:

master[39253]: about to exec /usr/local/cyrus/bin/ctl_cyrusdb
ctl_cyrusdb[39253]: DBERROR db3: Recovery function for LSN 37 4574898 failed
ctl_cyrusdb[39253]: DBERROR db3: warning: /var/imap/deliver.db: No such 
file or directory

but removing db/* fixes this. Still wondering if removing db/* breaks 
anything, though... :)
