We have a database on server and one backup copy in DVD. Some mails got deleted from server copy. Now can we merge the replicas and create one server database.
Subject: Merging two databases…
here goes.
Get the DB off the DVD
Remove the READ only OS property (because it picked this for being on a READ only media ie DVD)
Place this DB on a client this is not scheduled to replicate.
Remove the replication history on the server copy
(Push) replicate the DB from the client
This would put everything back or just cut and paste the emails back. UP to you

Hi Nathan,
Thanks for the response, but whenever we try to replicate it from client, it gives an error “the database is corrupt:can not allocate space”
Do this have a workaround.

Ravinder,
Try running Fixup, Compact & Updall on the corrupt database.

The FIXUP should fix the corruption issue but to be on the safe side run:
FIXUP
COMPACT -D (deleted views and indexes)
UDALL -R (rebuild views)
The local database is the one that is corrupted, copy the NFIXUP to the local machines LOTUS\NOTES program directory. Then run the task in the commend prompt.#
Good luck
