Injecting a mail folder into a users inbox/restore from backup

Hi!

Aas I never needed to do it yet, I want to ask for the best way to
restore users email which got lost...

Situation: running cyrus on debian with users and mailboxes.
User deleted on accident a folder in his INBOX (and cyrus did unlinked
the files and removed the folder from disk already).
I do backup from the INBOX structures on disk every night (in a basic
simple way, see it as a snapshot of the mail disks of cyrus).

Now I need a good way to inject the "old" folder user.xyz.INBOX.Folder
into the live cyrus system.
Is it easier to create a new user and copy with imap client?
Or just copy the folder content into a new created folder on users inbox?

Thank you.

MfG,
Lars Schimmer
