Got up to 73% and crashed - I've sent the report to support, though it looks like the application ran out of memory (12Gb RAM installed). Should have stopped it as per your previous post - oh well, lets start again....

Thanks for any help

Another question:

Using the R-Studio demo version, I did a Scan of the drive and can see some of my data - which I assume I could click on 'recover' to get back.

Can I recover my files directly from this drive, or do I need to create a virtual RAID? I also have a lot of video files of 8-24Gb to ...

I have a Thecus n5500 - 5x2TB RAID 5 NAS. Over the weekend I rebooted the unit and it lost the RAID. So I'm trying to get the data back!

To do this I'm trying a demo version of R-Studio - but when I connect to the unit over the network to deploy the agent I get the following error:
