Recovering permanently deleted files from Readynas Pro
Hello, How do you recover deleted files from a Readynas Pro? I deleted a share thinking it would do that like under Windows. I know I will lose the directory structure and the files names and e...
I don't know of a good way to do this. You could try installing extundelete using ssh I guess.
Of course if there are disk writes, the ability to repair rapidly disappears.
If you had the network recycle bin enabled, you might be able to get some data back from there.
Hello,
I think I will be fine if only I get that extundelete running.
The problem at the moment is that the apt command calls for files situated on the www.readynas.com website which seems to be unavailable at the moment and I have no idea if this is temporary or not.
Is there an alternate address for those files?
And if so where do I edit the address called by the apt command?
Are you still running OS4.2.x on the Pro? I've never had that issue, but I've been running OS6.x on mine for some time. Since the Debian distro on whihc OS4.2.x is based is so old, you may have to update your repository list.
That’s right, I am running 4.2.31
first things first, I must get that extundelete running.
how do I upgrade th repository list?
who’s willing to help?
then what do you mean? Can my old NAS be upgraded to the 6.x version os?
how?
can you provide a link for the procedure?
I've not run a 4.2.x system for some time. Unavailability of current packages was a significant part of my decision. So, I'm afraid I can't help you with specifics. But I stress again that if you are having to ask this type of question, you may want to consider getting paid assistance before something goes terribly wrong.
Yes, you can upgrade to 6.x. Instructions were posted over 4 years ago. OS6-now-works-on-x86-Legacy-WARNING-NO-NTGR-SUPPORT. Don't go past the first page, as most of the rest is no longer applicable.
Thank you for the link.
Gosh, isn’t there anybody that can guide through the simple steps of downloading extundelete and its dépendancies from an alternate source, copy them on the Nas with putty, and run some simple install commands?
I was a sysadmin for Windows servers and exchange for 13 years. I think i can manage. I just don,t have the time to forage the net for the answers.
