What type of file system does the ix2 use with hard drives? For safety, I’d like to know how to recover data from the drives if the ix2 fails.

Any Windows-based installable recycle bin software only works with locally attached disks.Īfter the files are deleted with no Recycle Bin in place, there is still a chance – our Home NAS Recovery can help (with varying success depending on how long since the deletion).Įvery now and then, people plan and go to great lengths figuring how to do data recovery before the actual data loss occurs. Whatever delete protection mechanisms, they must be implemented and run on the NAS side, because it is the NAS filesystem that owns the files and performs deletions. It keeps files retrievable as best practically possible (subject to age and free space constraints). QNAP, for example, calls this feature Network Recycle Bin. Does anyone has any experience with UNDELETE in NAS?įirst of all, some NAS vendors provide an equivalent of the Windows Recycle Bin. But it did not recognized the drive/shares in the NAS. I decided to try it and downloaded a trail version of the program. I read in a post that UNDELETE by Diskeeper might be a solution creating a “virtual” recycle bin. No chances to recover it from a Recycle bin.
The question is about some Recycle Bin equivalent for a NAS.Īs in most NAS (if not all) when a file is deleted from a share in IX4-300d it disaappear “completely” from the drive. This specific question is about IX4-300d, but it applies to virtually any NAS out there. Cases when rebuild goes wrong for no apparent reason are always dicey. One can give our Home NAS Recovery a spin, but there is no guarantee of success. With something unknown going wrong, it is difficult to predict if the case is recoverable. In this case, however, the rebuild was completed with no reported anomaly – something else went wrong. Certainly, with a wrong disk replaced, the rebuild does not happen. After synchronization the NAS told that 100% of storage capacity is free and so it tell until now… I am interessted in options to revocer the data.Ĭertainly does not look like something was done wrong if the NAS have sensed the rebuild cannot be completed, it would have had refused to even start the process. Then the Storecenter told that it was synchronizing the data. Recently our quite old NAS Iomega Storcenter 200rl with a RAID 5 out of 4x500GB, reported a harddisk failure and our administration replaced one of the disks that was marked. This case is actually kind of unexpected example of routine operation going belly up, the NAS owner ends up looking for recovery options after RAID 5 crash
