I've found that this is possible to restore a database with the log files placed back in the restore area as you say. I did also find that I had to copy these log extents into the folder after issuing the applylogs command, a NOTES.RIP file was created if the log files were already there.

Richard, You first idea might work and is the one you should try. As for your second idea... as you have described, I really don't know how you could accomplish it. How do you propose to apply the missing logs? The only two ways I know to apply logs is through TDP for Domino and through a Domino server "recovery". Del
