How to retrieve deleted files from ReadyNAS 214
Hi and thanks in advance. Like a fool, I accidentally deleted about 300GB's worth of data thinking it was duplicated, from my ReadyNAS 214. I do not have snapshots turned on, and as far as I can tell...
If you are comfortable with the Linux command line, see this: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Restore . The volume has to be unmounted, so you'll have to do all the work from the support mode.
Hi SandShark, thanks for your prompt reply. No I am not 100% comfortable with linux, but I can give it a go should I need to. Would this be something I could run using something like putty to terminal into the NAS box?
I will try my old NAS first to retrieve my data, if its not there, then I will give this a go after. I will let you know how I get on.
Thanks again.
Do you have snapshots enabled for the share(s) that held the files you deleted?
