[Box Backup] lost backups on server

I'm looking into implementing BoxBackup and I have one question for
you. I am hoping to avoid the expense of a redundant server to keep
the backed up data safe.

If, for example, the RAID array fails on the BoxBackup server and I
had previously copied the data for all accounts onto an external
drive. From reading the Wiki it appears that it would be possible to
copy the data from the external drive onto the new/rebuilt server.
However, I would have to "re-index" the data (for the lack of a better
word) by running "bbstoreaccounts check 1234 fix" on each account.
This assumes that I also backed up all of the account and server
config files.

Am I reading this correctly?


Thank you very much,

Sean
