RN104 Lost data after reboot

Hi,
New to asking for help in this way.
4 Bay Raid 5
I have a RN104 which had 2 of the bays unclipped whilst on, accidently, it was then powered down and put back together. when restarted the drives were all fine and online the volume had become inactive. Removed Volume and added new volume under wrong name which did not restore the data, attempted again with previous name and still the raid shows no data, How can I restart the raid with the data or has the data disappeared through the processes I have taken already.
Any help would be much appreciated as there was a small amount off data that had not been backed up yet which I would like not to recreate.
Thank You

If you destroyed the volume (in your Removed Volume step), then you destroyed the data in that volume. You would have been prompted to type "DESTROY" as part of that process.

Re: RN104 Lost data after reboot

It's conceivable, but not very likely. It'd be expensive to get it back. You could try powering down, connecting the disks to a Windows PC, and then see what ReclaiMe can recover. You'd have to pay for the software if you want to actually do the recovery though.
The longer you let the NAS run, the less likely it is that recovery would be possible.

The best way to deal with the inactive volume issue is to contact (paid) support at my.netgear.com.
This of course isn't needed if your backup is up to date.

FYI Just ran a scan and have found all the data will extract and update backup strategy.
Thanks for all you help
