[Users] Lost our management server.. have DB backup but no /etc/pki/

[St.Keimond]

All, I have documented backup, backup monitoring,.. and referenced 
another users docs for the restore process.

I have made a note to myself to still write up a separate document on 
how to do a restore without any files but the database and will try to 
get to that soon...

Thanks!
