Best way to use DiskInternals to recover data?
Hi my Duo v.1 died & I want to use DiskInternals to recover data from Disk1. I DO have USB backups, but had my NAS configured to not delete old stuff first, so there may be duplicates / old info in...
So I connected disk 1 from my Duo to a spare PC via SATA....seems to work ok....
But I discovered an enormous problem.....my iTunes library says it's got just over 24,000 tracks, 153GB of music.....98% of that is contained in a single directory, with a LOT of sub-directories...
When I recovered it from Disk 1, it is only 87GB, 15,000 files.... I compared individual folders that I know to be particularly large, such as Classical & Frank Sinatra....they are off by a lot.
I have another backup of this particular directory, fortunately, to compare with, and there is just a huge mismatch.
Is this a problem with the DiskInternals software, the ReadyNAS or what?
This is a very big problem and further cements my move away from any sort of Linux-based NAS device.
What's most bizarre, is I obtained the backup of this music directory by configuring Cobian on my Windows PC to backup from my ReadyNAS, to a drive on my Windows PC. I'm discovering folders on the NAS recovery / diskInternals that are totally empty.
What gives?
