ReadyNAS OS 6.2.x encrypted data recovery
I got help here before on this forum to recover data by connecting the disks to another machine and loading up the correct version of Fedora to access the data (practice in case of hardware failure). ...
1) We always use standard Linux components for things like this to make sure data recovery is possible using ordinary Linux machines. Also it's better to used tried and proven packages for things like this than to re-invent the wheel.
2) The key stored on the USB key could be used.
3) After the volume has been mounted successfully on boot disconnect the USB key and put it in a safe place or keep it on your person. If the NAS needs to be rebooted for whatever reason the USB key will need to be reconnected before the volume can be mounted.
I don't think sharing the commands for this is appropriate at this time. All of the steps can be done on an ordinary x86 Linux machine.
Regardless of whether you use encryption or not backups are important. Of course if the primary copy is stored on an encrypted volume it would make sense for the backup to be on an encrypted volume on another device as well.
