Hello everyone,
I'm hoping someone here has the insight on how to speed up a data recovery thats been running since december last year... yeah im not kidding about that.
Here's the scenario
I've got a Synology DS114+, with 2x Western Digital 3Tb green label harddrive set up in DSM's Hybrid RAID config. Sometime last year I made the mistake of not double-checking what I was going to delete when I removed one of the root directories containing years of personal documents, pictures, you name it. Normally when you've got the recycle-bin option enabled binnen DSM you can simply recover items as you would in any other OS. This does not go for the root folder structures though. Yes, there are warnings, yes, there's a line of text you need to enter confirming you're sure of what you're doing. A messy break-up and sufficient alcohol will lead you to drastic actions which will come back to bite you. anyhow..
I've used the NAS for a while before realising my mistake, I understand how this might have overwritten my deleted data.
I've contacted Synology support, they've looked into it but told me they can't help me, the removal is definitive. Through some googling i've found several tutorials on the subject, both yieling minimal result however. The last recovery had run for about 6 months and managed to recover about 3 to 5 items PER DAY. That stopped earlier today when there was a power outage in my block and I don't have a UPS for this system.
So here's what i'm looking for:
If my googling gave me the correct information DMS writes disk in the EXT3 format, most recovery software does not support this. I'm looking for one that does.
Second, It'd be great if I had a choice in what data would be recovered, selecting what I want, ignoring what I dont. (Really, I can re-download all those seasons of The Simpsons).
Because of the size of the harddrives, a pause/continue function would be great, nothing is more frustrating than restarting a disk recovery after it's just ran for 6 months just to see it start back up from square 1.
Related question, would one harddrive suffice for recovery (Synology Hybrid RAID) or would I also need to connect them both, somehow mimic the RAID set and then recover? (bigger question, HOW?!)
Bonus question, which system specs matters the most during a data recovery?
Ofcourse i'd prefer a freeware solution, but if the price is within reasonable home-consumer range I'm willing to consider.
