ReadyNASRNDP6000

I have the old model listed where I changed all 6 original disk with 6x2Tb WD red. All of them configured as X-raid in one volume. I had two folders on the volume. 

OS was raidar 4.2.31, being out of warranty I decided to upgrade it to Os6 even if I saw it was not supported by netgear. I did a back up of all my data (at least I thought) and started upgrading. It was succesful, I had my nas back, running on Os 6. A new volume created, as before X-raid. I was preparing to copy my data back and I sadly realized that I backed up only one of my folders, not the second one.

What I lost are picture files, all cr2 and jpg.

I didn't used any more the Nas since there, is there any chance for a recovery, even a low level scan or don't know what, also with a specialist service from netgear?

Thank you in advance for who may help.

Regards

Oscar

    You said you updated the disks.  Did you

    1. remove all the old disks
    2. insert all the new disks
    3. install OS 4.2.31
    4. convert to OS-6

    If not, can you detail the steps (particularly the disk updates)?

      1) I had 6x1Tb os 4.2.31 one volume x-raid, two folders on it with data

      2)Using x-raid functionality I changed disk one with a 2Tb, waited for rebuild

      3)Using x-raid functionality I changed disk two with a 2Tb, waited for rebuild

      same process till all 6 disk changed and rebuild done.

      then

      1)I had 6x2Tb os 4.2.31 one volume x-raid, two folders on it with data

      2)Upgraded to os 6, due to upgrade I had to recreate a new x-raid volume

      3)I realized I had a backup for only one folder (on other nas) and I shut down everything

       

      So I don't know if I can recovery something from my old 1Tb disks or if I can recovery something from the latest configuration I have

       

      Hope now is clear.

        You can try a product like ReclaiMe to see if it can recover anythng from the old or new drive sets, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.  It's expensive, but the free version does let you see if it'll work for you before you buy.
