Stefano,

The mailing list has now moved to SourceForge. You can post to

I did not get what your problem was.
What backuper are you using? How did you configure it?
What command line did you use in the console?
What do you mean by backing the config files?
What database engine are you using?

Sequoia 4 is the CVS HEAD on SourceForge. There has been no release so 
far, I had not find the time yet to release a beta version of it. I have 
to write the documentation and work on a new test suite, and as I am the 
only one working on it, that will definitely take time.
The CVS has moved to SourceForge, so there is no CVS anymore on 
Continuent. You can access it at 
http://sourceforge.net/scm/?type=cvs&group_id=252061

Sequoia 2.10 is still probably supported by Continuent but their effort 
is now focused on Tungsten and I guess there is not much interest from 
them to continue much further with Sequoia.
I am still working on Sequoia 4 on my free time but I currently have 2 
other jobs that keep me quite busy. So Sequoia 4 is moving at a very 
slow pace.

Thanks for your interest in Sequoia,
Emmanuel
