If you have the full backup, then you should be able to recover the entire 
Cyrus mail spool, including the config directory.  I recommend running 
reconstruct on every mailbox after you restore the files.

Maybe someone else on the list has more detailed recommendations...  Feel 
free to post any errors you are seeing and we'll try to help!
