Get the backup tape(s) that contains the last backup of the user's NSF file.
The user needs to identify the date when the data was deleted. Then use the tape dated one day prior to this date.
Load the tape(s) into the autoloader.
Sheila needs to restore the NSF file from the tape, back into the IFS of the Power8.
Sheila needs to know the path of the file - it should be something like: /root/domino/maggie/data/mail/joeshmoe.nsf
That file needs to be copied from the tape to some sort of temp folder on the IFS
DO NOT RESTORE DIRECTLY INTO THE DOMINO DIRECTORY
Open the Domino Administrator program on Darren's or Norwin's computer
File -> Open Database -> BROWSE to the restored NSF file on the temp IFS folder
Copy the deleted email messages with Ctrl-C
Use the Domino Administrator to open the users email file that is in the "mail" folder - this should be the mail file with the missing data
Now paste the messages into whatever folder the user needs them to be in
Now we go the the server console in the Domino Administrator program and issue the following commands - substitute the example name with the actual user's name
Enter in the following order, remember case matters and wait for the console to tell you that the command was finished before entering the next one.
dbcache flush
load fixup -F mail/joeshmoe.nsf
load updall -R mail/joeshmoe.nsf
load updall -C mail/joeshmoe.nsf
load updall -X mail/joeshmoe.nsf
load compact -c -D -i K mail/joeshmoe.nsf

Now the user can log into Lotus Notes and continue using it with their restored email messages.
