* If the database is in IBM® Lotus® Domino™ 5 or later format and you are not using transaction logging, you can use the Fixup task to repair the corrupted database. If the database is in Domino 5 or later format and you are using transaction logging, you cannot run the Fixup task on that database, because the Fixup task interferes with the way transaction logging keeps track of databases. Instead, you must restore the corrupted database from a backup. You can run the Fixup task on databases that are in Domino 4.x and earlier format.
