restore from /var/backup/pkgng.db

Hi!

> What program produces /var/backup/pkgng.db and pkgdb.bak.tbz?

/var/backup/pkgng.db comes from:

/usr/local/etc/periodic/daily/411.pkg-backup

> How can these files be used if the pkg database is corrupted?

pkg backup -r /var/backups/pkgng.db

should work.

I think so, yes.
