Well there is going to be two main ways... 1. Call support, ask for data recovery services info. Will most likely involve shipping your NAS in. With journaling disabled, there is a decent chance of recovery stuff. What model NAS, how many disks, approximately how much data, X-RAID or Flex-RAID? 2. Try on your own, which should only be done with decent Linux background experience, or someone who is familiar with it. Would involve using utilities like ext2 undelete stuff.

Netgear offers data recovery services charged by the hour (from what I've read it's in the $200.00 per hour range and most jobs can be completed within a couple of hours). Obviously, each case is unique, so you need to contact support to get a more accurate idea.
