I think this can be done, though I haven't tried myself. It doesn't take
you to backup the whole msgbase home and restore it.

If you want to maintain two msgbases, you need to bring soup packets
home. You need to tell import.exe NOT to delete your packets after
importing msgs. Then bring along the
j>If so, please inform which files should I transport?
Besides any configuration/filter file, you need to carry along:
%HOME%\yarn\newsrc Newsgroup subscription file
%HOME%\yarn\readart.* Read cross-posted article lookup table
%YARN%\history.* Article history lookup table
%YARN%\supersed.* Superseded article lookup table
%YARN%\active
The most important ones I believe are "newsrc" and "active". They are
supposed to contain your read flags and expiry flags respectively.
