Data Recovery and Disk Utilities Forum @R-TT

All data has been recovered! ReclaiMe was used to identify the RAID parameters and R-Studio did the heavy lifting data recovery.

Frankdmi, I was successful with getting all the data back. I would highly recommend ReclaiMe to find the RAID parameters needed by R-Studio to recover the data.

Frank, I just went thru a similar situation. I suggest you look at http://forum.r-tt.com/netgear-x-raid2-r ... t8261.html.

It looks like I'm going to be able to recovery the data. R-Studio didn't automatically detect a partition/file system when I put in the parameters from ReclaiMe (probably because of the type of recovery I'm dealing with), however scanning the virtual RAID did find the partition/file system. As soon ...

I finally finished up imaging all of the drives. Even though the admin provided what he thought were the correct parameters, R-Studio did not find a partition. I used ReclaiMe RAID Recovery software to scan the drive images to determine the parameters. The results were different than those provided ...

Alt, I really appreciate you taking the time to promptly respond to my posts. Hopefully, once the imaging is done, everything will go smoothly.

Netgear X-RAID2 uses their own variant of RAID5 and the Linux Ext2/Ext3 file system, so, generally R-Studio should be able to work with it...

The admin was able to provide me with output from some command he ran, and it actually shows the "Raid level" as RAID6. Is that because it's X-RAID is ...

Alt, thanks for the quick response! What's the best way to go about finding the RAID parameters? Given I know the drive order, do I only need to find out the offset, block size, and block order in order to do a custom config? The Admin could only tell me that the RAID was set up with default ...

Does anyone know if R-Studio supports Netgear's X-RAID2? Will I have to create a custom RAID type or can I use one of the preset configurations? I need to recover data from a Netgear NAS. I have all the drives imaged and know the correct order of the drives.

Thanks for any help.
