How to fix a "File is corrupted" error in a Lotus Notes NSF file?

[salina]

Hello,
Seeing a "file is corrupted" error is scary, but don't panic. In many cases, your data is still there and can be recovered.

1. The Basic In-Built Tool

Lotus Notes has some command-line maintenance tools like Fixup, Compact, and Updall that you can try to run on the server.

• Fixup: Scans and tries to repair structural issues in the database.

The Problem: These tools often fail on severe corruption and can be complicated to use. Sometimes, they can even cause further data loss if the file is badly damaged.

2. The Most Reliable Solution: A Professional Recovery Tool

When a file is seriously corrupted, you need a powerful tool that can deeply scan the file, extract every bit of recoverable data, and save it into a new, healthy file.

For this, the eSoftTools NSF to PST Converter is your best solution. It is also an advanced NSF recovery tool.

How eSoftTools Fixes Corruption:

• Deep Scanning: When you select a corrupted NSF file, the software performs a powerful scan to find and rebuild the data structure.
• Recovers Everything: It is designed to recover all items—emails, attachments, contacts, calendars, etc.—from even inaccessible or severely damaged NSF files.
• No Technical Steps: You don't need to run any commands. Just select the broken file, and the software does the hard work.
• Save to a New File: After recovering the data and showing you a preview, it lets you export everything to a brand new, error-free PST file (or other formats). This is the safest way to rescue your data without touching the original corrupted file.

So, if you're facing an NSF corruption error, just load the file into the eSoftTools software. It will show you what it can recover, and then you can safely export your valuable data.
