ZYCEL is a tenement-based company mostly known for its network solutions for home users and small to medium businesses, but just in case you didn't know, it also produces NAS devices. Their NAS solutions are pretty reliable and are a good option for organizing a data storage system. However, even the most reliable NAS devices have a limited period of operating life, and it doesn't matter if they are produced by ZYCEL or any other well-known manufacturer. I mean, after a few years of use, all storage devices tend to fail sooner or later. Generally, most NAS systems remain usable for 3 to 5 years on average. On the other hand, there are some factors that often cause the storage system to fail long before its lifespan expires and lose our precious data. Network attached storage may break down after a power failure, voltage surges, accidental formatting, reinstalling operating system, damaging the file system, usually it affects the journal or the superblock, and as a result of mechanical issues with the hard disk or the RAID controller. Very often, data can be lost from NAS devices when users decide to update their firmware. To get your files back, you'll need a specialized data recovery tool. And in today's video, I'll show you how to choose a good data recovery utility to use with a NAS device. To start us, let's explore how to build a RAID system on this specific NAS device. To create a RAID, open Storage Manager, expand the tab Internal Storage, choose Volume, in this window, click Create. Select the disks to use for building the new RAID, choose the RAID type, and click Next. You'll see a notification saying that all the data in the selected disk will be raised. Hit Yes to confirm a choice. Check the properties, and if everything is correct, click Apply and wait until it's done. It may take some time. Alright, now the new RAID is created and ready to use. If you need to change the properties of an existing RAID, you'll have to delete it first. And it means all the data stored in this array will be raised too. Select the volume you need to edit and click Delete. To confirm the section, type Delete in this pop-up window to make the Delete button active. Finally, click Delete to continue, and the volume will be removed. Now you can create a shared folder to provide access to the storage device. Open Control Panel, Shared Folders. By default, there is a predefined selection of shared folders. If you want to add more items, click on the plus button above, assign a name for the folder, select a directory, enable a recycle bin, and click Next. Set access permissions, read only or read right, and go on to the next page. If you need to configure publishing settings, do it, and then click Next. Check the properties, and click Apply. If your NAS works alright, and the network drive can be accessed, but you accidentally do it with some data from the disk, you can try to recover it from the recycle bin. To use this feature and recover files from the bin, it has to be enabled. To do it, open Control Panel, Shared Folders, select an item, and click on Edit Shared. In the window that opens, check the box next to Enable Recycle Bin for Shared Folder, and click Apply. Now, when files are deleted, they will be sent to the recycle bin and you will be able to recover an accidentally removed file. Go to the directory from where you deleted the file, open the Recycle Bin folder, find that file, and copy it to where you need it. If the network recycle bin was disabled at the time when files were removed, they can only be restored with a specialized data recovery tool. As the recycle bin was disabled in my case, it is impossible to recover data using the bin. For such scenarios, all you need is a reliable piece of data recovery software to bring your files back without erasing them in the process. If data is removed by accident, a hard disk is formatted, the disk array is misconfigured, or in other scenarios involving loss of data, loss of access to the network drive, or damage to a RAID system, headman radar recovery is always there to help you restore important information. Most NAS devices are running on Linux-based operating systems, and their hard disks are formatted for EXT file system. While RAID arrays are typically built with the use of MDADM or LVM technology. When such disk arrays are connected to a Windows computer directly, you can't read their contents without using third-party software. However, headman radar recovery supports burst technologies, and in most cases, it can build such RAID arrays automatically. This is a comprehensive solution for NAS data recovery to help you restore your files in a number of different scenarios. This program supports most popular file systems, including those used in RAID-based devices. Take the disks out of the NAS device and connect them to a Windows computer. If the operating system of the computer to which you have connected the disks asks you to initialize or format them, don't do that, because it will make recovery a lot more complicated. Are utility features an advanced mechanism of automatic scanning designed to identify and recover NAS data in various scenarios and data loss? It will analyze the disks, read the service information, and rebuild the damaged RAID system. You can see detailed information about the array and check if the program has identified it correctly. To start a scan, right-click on the disk and choose Open. Select the scan type and click Next to start it. As you can see, the program has rebuilt the damaged RAID easily and found all the files stored on the network drive. If you are looking for files that have been removed, you can identify them by red crosses. Select all the files you want to recover and click Recovery. And select where you want to save them. When the recovery process is over, you'll find all of the files in the folder you have chosen. If files are deleted accidentally from an ISCSI disk, you don't have to take the hard disks out of the NAS device and connect them to a computer. Just run our program and scan the network drive. Had my RAID recovery, I didn't define it as a physical one, and it means you can easily scan it and recover the accidentally removed data. So just right-click on the drive, Open. Select the scan type and wait until it's over. As you can see, the program has found the files that have been deleted. The last step is to recover them. If hard disks are properly functioning and healthy, Had my RAID recovery will rebuild damaged RAID arrays automatically. However, when a disk is damaged or service information is erased, the program may have difficulty in automating the rebuild process. If the program failed to rebuild the array but you know its properties, you can perform this operation manually with the help of the RAID constructor. Open the constructor and select the Manual mode option here. In the next window, fill in all the RAID properties you know. The RAID type, block order in size, add the disk that you used to include, use the arrows to specify the order, and replace the missing disks with empty drives by clicking the plus button. Also, you can specify the offset that helps to locate the beginning of the disk. The program may have difficulty in identifying it automatically, so you will have to enter the offset value manually. Usually, if you give correct properties, the newly built RAID system has at least one partition. Expand it to check for the folders that you need. If the folders you are looking for are displayed, then you have built this RAID properly. When you specify all the properties you know, click Add, and the array you have built manually will appear in the Drive Manager. To have this array recovered, scan it. Find the files you want to restore, select them, and recover to the folder of your choice. That is all for now. Hopefully, this video was useful.
