Pedro3 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Hello… I need to try to recover data from a NAS, since I can't do that using a software with the NAS on the network, can I remove the HDD from the NAS and connect to a computer using a USB external Hard Drive connection? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedroth Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Has the NAS failed? If the NAS is using RAID, you will not be able to connect one of the HDDs to your PC to access the data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro3 Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 It's a Seagate, Model srpd20. Is this enough? How can I tell if it's using RAID? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the use of NAS, if its not using Raid. Why do you want to recover data? is it because of accidentally delete? or hardware failure. you can use any recovery software, if its just accidentally delete. hardware failure required lot of work to recover the data.

xendrome Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 It's a 2 bay, so likely RAID, but was it raid mirror or stripe. If it was mirror and the enclosure failed, get a new enclosure and swap drives. If it was a drive, replace the failed drive and it should rebuild if it was a mirror.

Jim K Global Moderator Posted February 13, 2019 Global Moderator Share Posted February 13, 2019 Missing information. If the NAS hardware failed ... you should be able to hook the drive(s) (depending on RAID config) up to a PC and pull the data (using something like Ubuntu Live). Or maybe Ext2Fsd??

+BudMan MVC Posted February 13, 2019 MVC Share Posted February 13, 2019 There is no where close to enough info to help you. But with any sort of reason that you "lost" data - just restore said data from your backup. If the data was not important enough to backup, why are you worried about recovery? shockz and Dick Montage 1 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This NAS isn't mine, it's from a friend. She had many folders with many pictures inside, one day, she just opened the NAS and many of the folders just weren't there, she isn't very good with tech, so she could accidentaly deleted the files, but she said that nothing different happened during her usage of the NAS, but she isn't sure of it. I tried to use Recuva, but it doesn't work on a NAS, what software do you recommend? Must probably it wasn't hardware faile, since many other folders and files are good. 5 hours ago, xendrome said: It's a 2 bay, so likely RAID, but was it raid mirror or stripe.

I don't think it was hardware failure, since she told me that the NAS was always working, but many folders are missing. Can I take the drive out of the NAS and connect it to a PC? 1 hour ago, BudMan said: There is no where close to enough info to help you.

You know, people only do backups AFTER something really bad happens! So, she had no backup of this data. The data is important, so, if I could recover it, great. Sorry by not giving more info, but she's really bad with tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goretsky Supervisor Posted February 13, 2019 Supervisor Share Posted February 13, 2019 Hello, I have had good results recovering data from failed NASes using Runtime Software's NAS Data Recovery software.

It's using SimplyRAID. Is there any other option to recover the data using the software from the NAS or should I try Runtime Software's NAS Data Recovery ? 5 hours ago, BudMan said: If your lucky and she deleted them, Synology has a trash bin you can just restore the files from..

+BudMan MVC Posted February 14, 2019 MVC Share Posted February 14, 2019 I know its not a synology It was it as an example - if one nas has it, maybe yours does as well. So that runs NAS OS, can you log into that NAS OS? All the info about how the drives are configured would be there.. Also apps, and even maybe undelete option.. I am not familiar with that OS... But it does run it. https://www.seagate.com/support/software/apps/nas-os/ Here is their recyclebin https://www.seagate.com/support/kb/nas-os-4x-network-recycle-bin-nrb-006005en/ The purpose of the Network Recycle Bin (NRB) is to ensure that when a file is deleted from the NAS, it isn’t permanently deleted. The benefit of the NRB is that if you delete a file from your NAS by mistake, you can restore the file back to the NAS. The downside to the NRB is that when you delete files from the NAS, you will not see the extra capacity freed up. You will have to empty the Recycle Bin in order to gain the additional free space.

+BudMan MVC Posted February 14, 2019 MVC Share Posted February 14, 2019 So what is the raid configuration then? "It's using SimplyRAID." So all that is like auto mode from my take... If using all the space then it would be 0 and and striped across both, if safety and redundancy was your choice then is prob 1, etc. So get onto the NAS OS, and validate what config its in.. ScreenShots wold be very helpful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its Raid-1, you have 1 disk redundancy, But we are talking about Accidental delete, since your Hardware looks OK Edit: You can take the disk out of NAS and plug it into your computer and Run any Free Recovery Program to retrieve the data, if its hard for you, than call your any tech. friend?

+BudMan MVC Posted February 15, 2019 MVC Share Posted February 15, 2019 And TURN ON NRB!!! So your idiot friend doesn't delete other stuff she needs next week. Curious why SMB and AFP enabled - so does this person have PC or Mac? Why is time machine not being leveraged if Mac? So no recycle in, no backups? Did they delete like all their files... Only 8% being used? Did they just get this thing last week or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
