Software to Recover array from each Hard drive outside of Readynas system?"
Is there a recovery software that can rebuild an array from individual drives outside the Readynas system? I have a readynas NV+ V1 and the system is not booting. I have tested each drive and...
I use ReclaiMe recovery software.
This has been sucessful for me on Readynas V1, V2 and OS6 (btrfs) systems for data recovery
It is Windows based and reconstructs the array from the discs.
It is about €200 so it is your decision on how much your data is worth.
There is a demo which isn fact is the full software package but saving data is prohibited. So you can install, run and check to see if it can recover your data befoe you shell out for a licence.
If it is able to see your data you can pause the recovery (in fact you dod not have to go to "full recovery anyway") purchase the licence which is emailed to you, enter it into the program and start the reading off your data to a new location
Do you know if using this software will prohibit it from being used in the readynas again?
I think these are " read only" and don't modify anything but I'm not sure.
Windows based seem easier than building a Linux machine however its nice to have options available.
Thanks.

I think your best option is to back up all the data, since the NAS isn't even booting. Very likely you will end up with a factory reset.
OK, I think this answerd my question. I psoted the question before I even saw this response.
So try the recovery software and backup the data BEFORE trying it on the machine. Great , Got it.
Thanks.
No the program only reads the discs it does not write to the discs.
You can recover your data to a local drive, a usb attached drive or over the network. If you recover over the network you have to create an "elevated" network share via the command prompt run as an administrator. ReclaiMe have help on this as well on their site
If he recovery was succesful or you have finished with the discs then you simply delete the partions using the administratvie tools in windows, reinsert into the nas and it see them as "fresh" discs. effectively a factory default
