Hello Working in the eDiscovery field, we often times come across Lotus Notes NSF files that are in need of repair/corrupt.  Typical practices include running nFixup, nCompact -c, and nUpdall -r.  Can anyone provide any third party solutions for NSF repair that they have used effectively? We already have stellar Phoenix Lotus Notes Recovery, but found out after purchase that it supports Lotus Notes 6 and lower, which we rarely encounter. Is there anything else anyone is using that they have found effective (and thorough)?  Some solutions out there claim recovery but lose attachments or other vital information. Thanks for the help!

Maybe my advice can help you though this forum is not for this theme.

If you are unable to find any third party utility then if would suggest you try a tool Lotus Notes Repair Kit  http://www.lotusnotes.repair/

And also  suggest you try  a manual method. Follow the below mentioned steps: 1. Open C:\lotus\Notes (or where you have installed it); 2. Use these three executables in order to fix the corrupted database: nfixup.exe, ncompact.exe, nupdall.exe Syntax Examples:

nfixup -J -F [database name]

[J] Fixup transaction-logged databases

[F] Scan all documents

ncompact -c -i [database name]

[c] Copy-style

[i] Ignore errors and proceed

nupdall -R [database name]

[R] Rebuild all used views

*Note: When you open these executable you have to enter your Lotus Notes Password. You can read more here: http://lotusibm.com/database-corruption-and-troubleshooting/ These are the suggested solution; feel free to revert back if it doesnt work. Thanks)
