Understanding RAID-X basics for data recovery
Hi, I'm looking for some help about the fundamentals of the storage technology used by the ReadyNAS Duo, in order to perform a data recovery, or a way to restore the ReadyNAS Duo without erasing ex...
Thanks a lot for your support ; I read about LVM and could mount the logical volume.
The folders are here, but all are from long time ago. The friend who I'm trying to help remembers having done some kind of reset and it's now like the NAS was restored to the status of one of the very first backups.
So, I currently need some way to seek for the file structure before the files and folders were removed.
As some data recovery tools are not able to work with logical volumes, I'm considering cloning the (non-mounted) logical volume to another drive. Just after step (6) of this procedure:

Then, I plan to use a recovery tool for ext3. Would this work?
I wonder if the free R-Linux, applied to this clone, would suffice, or if R-Studio for Linux would be required.
I'm also considering using ReclaiMe (running on Windows), especially if was possible to make the logical volume directly accessible to it.
I would like to avoid using Photorec and such tools, as I need the folder structure to be kept.
Thank you for your advices.
