ReadyNAS Data Recovery - VMware recovery tool
Description This topic contains links to linux VMware images (Debian / Ubuntu) that have been modified to enable you to access your ReadyNAS duo HDDs from any machine with a USB plug and a SATA to US...
Hi all.
I found this topic during the search for a solution but it seems that I need some help to confirm that what I'm trying is possible.
I'm trying to help my girlfriend small company (3 architects) with their network (computers, security...).
I'm just begining in this part and as it's not my principal job I lack some knowledge.
They are using a ReadyNAS Pro 6 with 2 disks (2 To) configured to use XRAID 2
They have been attacked at the beginning of this week due to an external (from a chinese gateway) https access.
Many data have been deleted but they were able to save some of them (not a lot) before disconnecting and shuting down the NAS.
Of course, the backup was not configured so they have totally lost everything.
Do you think that I can bring back some information by myself or must I contact a specialised company ?
I've downloaded the acmtn debian but I'm not able to mount the disks connected throught USB disk cradles (partitions are correctly recognized under windows but not browsable).
Thanks for your help.
The steps for the Pro 6 are different to the steps for Sparc.
For the Pro 6 you need to do e.g.
# mdadm --assemble --scan # vgscan # vgchange -a y # mount /dev/c/c /mnt
You should check the health of the disks first and the state of the md arrays, particularly the one involving partition 3 or 5 (depending on when you last did a factory reset).
Recovering files that were not deleted should be possible.
As for deleted files that may be difficult or impossible.
The disks seems to be healthy as I'm totally able to use the NAS and to copy all the informations that were not deleted.
I think that nobody ever did a factory reset on this NAS (I've started to try to manage everything about 1 month ago).
My quest here is to find a way to bring back the file that were deleted (for exemple using foremost or any other tool).
Just for information I achieved to bring back many file (maybe all maybe not) using photorec (foremost wasn't able to bring back specific files like autocad or sketchup).
I was forced to recreate a new image because the downloaded ones were too old to allow the download of new packages (or I wasn't smart enought :smileylol:)
mdgm-ntgr thanks for your help to mount the devices, even if I wasn't able to mount the raid (only one of the 2 disks) it allowed me to natively browse the file and bring back some of them.
