Unable to restore just the Configuration from backup using the -C command.

Guys,

We're trying to set up a new backup server where we want to keep our configuration in sync with our main TC server.

The way that we're trying to do is is to take a full backup (Config, DB, logs, etc) from the main server (currently on TC 8.0.6)

Then do a restore of JUST the Configuration data on our backup server (currently on 8.1.0a)

Thing is the -C flag does not seem to work.

We're executing the following command:

C:\TeamCity\bin\maintainDB.cmd restore -F "C:\BLD-MSTR-01-Backup-20140225_142403.1.zip" -T "C:\database.properties" -C

C:\TeamCity\logs\teamcity-maintenance.log stated the following (no mention of restoring config files under C:\ProgramData\JetBrains\TeamCity\config)

If you are going to start TeamCity with the database just restored,
don't forget to copy this file to
 C:\ProgramData\JetBrains\TeamCity\config\database.properties
================================================================================================================

We're able to do the FULL restore without the -C command (NOT WHAT WE WANT)

Full restore works as long as we wipe the following directories:

C:\ProgramData\JetBrains\TeamCity\config
C:\ProgramData\JetBrains\TeamCity\system

and move over database.properties file under another location like drive C:\ (recomended manual steps?)

This is what needs to be done for the full restore according to http://devnet.jetbrains.com/message/5510363#5510363

Please advise on how to proceed ASAP we would really like to be able to use the -C flag to just restore the config data.

At this time it seems like something is wrong with the way maintainDB.cmd is behaving with the -C flag.

Thanks
