Resolving Corruption on Lotus Notes Databases

Is there anything else I can try or is it a lost cause?

11 Lotus Notes mail databases on a Domino 6.5.4 Server were corrupted when they had a RAID array issue and the server crashed. We have resolved the crash but now are left with 11 databases that we can no longer access. To add insult to injury their backup system had tanked the day before and it is going to be about a week until their replacement tape drive robot arrives. So unfortunatley restoring is not an option for about a week.

I am receiving two errors between all the databases (never both on the same database):
     1)     Database is corrupt -- Cannot allocate space
     2)     RRV bucket is corrupt

Here are the results from the server console: (database names and paths changed for client protection)

I tried running fixup from the Domino Administrator Client. Due to the corruption I also cannot create a replica from the databases, it errors out as well. Adding the icons to my desktop in the Notes Client results in errors and no icon. There are no quotas or size limitations set for these databases. They are NOT running transactional logging.

I moved the files locally and ran the following commands with Notes not running from the Command Prompt:

C:\NOTESPATH> nfixup -f -j

Thanks for the input. Was hoping there was something else but glad I don't have to spin my wheels anymore.

Was able to save all but 5 using replicas on mobile systems to restore back to the server. The rest we restored once the tape drive came back to us today.

Thanks again for your input.
Excellent!
