I think you have to restore the database to a different filename.

dsmnotes restore test.nsf test2.nsf

Then you will be able to rename the database file back to test.nsf.

That's the way we try to do it.

I have tried that. The result is: NOTES: File does not exist. The problem
is that there is no longer any database to merge to, since I've by misstake
have deleted it.
Should I create a blank/empty database and merge into that?

If you want to retain the same database id, you should use -MERGE instead
of
-TO since
merge will only restore the documents but leave the rest of the database
merge will only restore the documents but leave the rest of the database
untouch. Using
-TO is equivalent to copy a database to another database, so the database
id is
id is
different.
Other than that, the rest of the documents, forms and views are remain the
same.

Subject: Restore on ADSMConnect Agent for Lotus Notes
Hello!
Does anyone have any experience of restoring complete Notes databases on
ADSMConnect Agent for Lotus Notes?
I have by misstake deleted a complete Lotus Notes database.  How do I
restore it to the same name by only using the ADSMConnect Agent for
Lotus Notes?
I tried to use the Command-Line interface and the command 'dsmnotes
restore'.
When I entered the command: dsmnotes restore D:\NOTES\DATA\TEST.NSF
I get this message: NOTES: File does not exist
When I use this command: dsmnotes restore D:\NOTES\DATA\TEST.NSF
-TO=D:\NOTES\DATA\TEST.NSF
The database is restored but it is not possible to rebuild the database
The database is restored but it is not possible to rebuild the database
since the restored database has a different ID.
Which is the correct way to do this? I dont want to use ADSM for Windows
NT.
Regards
Tomas Lindkvist
