Recover Docs - corrupt db?

I have a database that I believe was corrupted at some point - it's a mail file with many years of mail in it.  There are approximately 4 years now which are missing. (Same one I mentioned in 2014 with no resolution)

At first I thought they were accidentally mass selected and deleted so I created a view to see the deleted docs - they were not there (I do have the soft delete set for 99999).

Doc count of original NSF is 137000 documents
Doc count of a new replica of that database also has ~137000 documents
BUT if I make a copy of it then it's got maybe 95000 documents in it.

Are there any tools out there or what do you suggest?

THANK YOU!

Could some of the documents have reader fields?
If so, if your ID can't read those docs, you can't read them so they won't appear in the copy.

Some possible steps to take.

Please specify if the database is the server replica or a local replica of the mail file.

It would be a good idea to check the all documents view to verify if the documents are visible.

Are there any backups available of the mail database? If yes you can run show database on the server and compare the results that you have with both of them.

 

The documents count difference can be still down to deletion stubs since they are not copied over to new Notes copy but would be copied to the new replica. Running "show database databasename.nsf" would provide you with that information.

Looking forward to hear back from you.

The Ytria ScanEZ tool will help you with in-depth analysis of your database.

You may opt to remove deletion stubs from one of the replica and then do replication. Removing deletion stubs will bring back the old deleted documents.

Note: Just make sure that PIRC (Purge Interval Replication Control) is not enabled in replication settings of the database.
