Thanks I jump the gun with my actions really, can only be described as panic.

It's conceivable, but not very likely. It'd be expensive to get it back. You could try powering down, connecting the disks to a Windows PC, and then see what ReclaiMe can recover. You'd have to pay for the software if you want to actually do the recovery though.
The longer you let the NAS run, the less likely it is that recovery would be possible.

This of course isn't needed if your backup is up to date.

Thanks for all you help
