raid 5 images
Posted: Sat Jul 14, 2018 10:18 am
I have raid5 on 5 drives. dell Perc h710. Now this array is degraded, at least 3 drives have serious problems. I am going to make disk images of all drives, then we are going try data recovery tools on these images.
But I can't move and attach the drives to another hardware. Perc h710 doesn't allow to direct access to the drives, so we can't do separete disk images now.
The only thing I can do is to create single disk raid0 for every disk separatelly (I assume this will only overwrite raid metadata, but won't affect existing data until nothing is being written to the disk), and then to take the images all of them.
Is it good idea? Do you think r-studio will be able reconstruct anything from such images?
