Re: Restore Database Issue -- DOMINO400




Chris,

One thing you might try is to change the file extension on the mail
database from .NSF to .ABC, then move it out under the /data directory of
the server and open it with your client by manually typing the full
filename.  As someone said earlier, if you can still  get a restore from
before it was deleted, you ought to be able to retrieve the doc that way.
