Please if you haven't already. Have a read of Having ReadyCLOUD problems since 3/30/17?
This announcement has been updated over time.
I'm going to mark this as the solution to make sure those visiting this thread see this post.

Do you see the tree structure with ReclaiMe File Recovery or doesn't it only show files? I'm just interested in confirming that ReclaiMe won't perform the same kind of "serialized" recovery, which is often the only available option in data carving.

The tool would need to be able to assemble mdadm RAID and read BTRFS volumes.
It appears to. I connected one of my drives and it went through a wizard and then ask me to select the connected RAID drives implying multiple. Thats where I pulled the pin because I'm probbaly not the one that should be experimenting with this. I really don't understand the terminology and am pretty new to NAS/RAID in general. Would love someone who knows what they are doing to test it.
Any takers?
There are tools out there that are a lot cheaper than ReclaimMe such as http://www.quetek.com/prod02.htm
And if you don't have many disks there is e.g. http://www.nas-recovery.software/
I haven't tried any of these tools so don't know how well/badly they work.
I tried that Quetek product and it just crashed repeatedly on a fresh install of Windows 10 as soon as I tried scanning the drives. That Home NAS Recovery is $189 for 4 disks. Pretty much the same as Reclaime. I haven't tested Home NAS Recovery though.
Reclaime was showing me the folder structure and file names of my data. See the images at the link below. I had to do a "search" to be able to find the directory structure as Reclaime does only show a serialized listing of the folders at first, but buried somewhere in that mess is my actual folder structure. Searching for a known filename located the actual folder structure. For instance, in my case my 2 ReadyCloud accounts were listed under serialized items #5234 and #5047.
Reclaime doesn't allow you to restore any data without a license, but it does state that it will recover both the folder structure and the filenames.
