Dear all. I have followed the current posts regarding this issue. Placed my ReadyNas in Technical Support mode, sent the required details to readycloud support from my MyNetgear registered email.
Has anyone who has done this received an acknowledgement? I have not, I'm a bit anxious.

Yes, I also know there are others who have been contacted by Netgear's engineers to try and recover the data, but most of it is not recoverable
I asked on this forum a few days ago now if there's an answer to how Netgear is going to bear the liability for the data lost but I'm not receiving any answers

_shaw is that using the same user you use to post on the community or a different one?
If you PM me I can lookup the user to see where your case is at.

sassinemichel you're already in contact with support and customer service so best to continue your discussions with them.
Support is still working to attempt to recover more of your data than they've been able to so far. They may be unsuccessful in this but that's the next step.
Data recovery attempts can be quite time consuming when it's not straightforward, as we've found in your case. They can even be completely unsuccessful sometimes. That's one of the reasons why you need to have a backup of important data available to restore from.
We put so much time into the backup features we have because no important data should be stored on the one device, no matter what that device is. If the primary copy of data is on your PC then the copy on your NAS is a backup.
We'd much rather have discussions about what level of backups is appropriate for your use case before problems are run into, than to have the discussion afterwards.
