Restoring a KVS stub from local NTFS folder. Is it possible to script?

Is it possible to write code/or execute a program to scan a local NTFS folder for exported KVS stubs files no longer in Outlook and

1) perform a restore and

2) overwrite the exported KVS stub with the restored message?

 

Has anyone tried?
We have a security issue with our document management system concerning KVS stubs and this would resolve it.


 
Environment:
Outlook 2003 SP2
KVS 6.0 SP3
InterWoven WorkSite 8.2

It is possible to code, using VB Script, as long as you do a File Open request.
 
A simpler method would be to run a Search for files, using the advanced Option, Search in tape backup.

Thanks for the feedback.
 
Is there a way to find which files are KVS stubs if all you have is a folder and subfolder full of files.
 
Example:
 
FolderA contains files
1234567.1
2345677.1
7648398.1
6453662.1
 
FolderB contains files
1234566.1
 
These files can be Word, Excel, PDF's, PowerPoint, Outlook MSG or KVS stubs which are also MSG! But as you can see these files do not have file extensions .doc, .xls etc.
 
How can you find which files are KVS stubs? Looking at the file headers maybe? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
Then after finding the KVS stubs comes the restore part and then the replacing. But I'm only working on one challenge at a time.
