I assume that $shsmfile and $kaspfile are stored on a safe place and contain 
all the information needed to restore the SoftHSM and OpenDNSsec state. They 
are probably included in your system backup.

I am not familiar with mysql or sqlite. What are the commands needed to 
restore the state from these two safe files?
Have you verified that it is sufficient to restore your zones and keys from 
these two files (and the unsigned zone files, of course)?
