Can I backup Lotus Notes NSF files while server is running?
#1
Short Answer: Yes — but only if you use a tool like eSoftTools NSF to PST Converter Tool. Manual copying during server use = corrupted files.

Full Answer:
Many admins think they can just copy NSF files from the Domino server folder while it’s running… but that’s dangerous. NSF files are locked by the server process. Copying them manually often results in:
  • Corrupted emails
  • Missing calendar entries
  • Broken views
  • Incomplete backups

Safe Method? Use eSoftTools NSF Backup Tool.
It connects directly to the server (or local NSF files) and creates clean, consistent backups — even while the server is live. It works like this:
  • Scans NSF databases safely
  • Exports full structure (mail, apps, design elements)
  • Saves as compressed NSF or PDF/CSV for archive
  • Supports scheduling (auto-backup daily/weekly)

Perfect for small businesses, remote workers, or migrating off Notes. You can also restore later to any Notes or Outlook system.

? Pro Tip: Always backup before migration or upgrade!
