Why can’t ordinary software tools restore files from RAID?

Conventional hard disks keep user’s data by writing it to their surface in a consecutive way, and this is how an entire file is stored on a single hard disk. However, when data is written to a RAID system, a file is divided into several parts. Then these parts are written consecutively to all hard disks within such array. The size of such parts may range from 2 KB to 2 MB, so each file is stored on several hard disks at the same time.

Such approach helps to speed up read and write operations, and it is evident that saving two parts of a file having the size of 1 GB to two hard disks simultaneously is much faster than saving the same 1 GB of data to one hard disk. However, this peculiarity makes file recovery more complicated.

Various RAID levels store information in different ways. Additionally, manufacturers like QNAP also introduce some modifications to this process, and that is why data can be written to hard disk in a wide variety of ways.

Can power outages or surges affect data stored in NAS QNAP TVS-882T devices?

Yes, power outages or surges can potentially affect the data stored in NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices like the QNAP TVS-882T. When a power outage occurs, the NAS may shut down abruptly, leading to the risk of data corruption or loss. Similarly, power surges can cause damage to the hardware components of the NAS, including the hard drives, which can result in data loss.

To mitigate these risks, it is recommended to use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with the NAS device. A UPS provides backup power during outages and protects against power surges. Additionally, enabling features like RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) and regular data backups can further safeguard against potential data loss.

How to take hard disks out of the NAS and connect them to a PC?

Although NAS TVS-882T can be accessed over the network, you still need to take the hard disks out of the storage device and connect them to a Windows computer. Only in this case will the software be able to scan them properly. Here is what you should do:

Turn off the storage and disconnect it from the power supply.

WARNING! Before you start taking hard disks out of your NAS device, read the manual carefully. Incorrect actions may damage your network-attached storage and/or the hard disks within the RAID system.
Take the hard disks out of the NAS one by one, carefully removing them from their slots. Remember that the disks are extremely vulnerable: hitting or dropping them may result in serious physical damage.
Make sure to mark each hard disk in accordance with how they were installed inside the NAS.
Remove the hard disks and connect them to the computer. In this video, we have explored what ports are used to connect hard disks, and what to do if there are not enough ports or connectors.

How to Order Remote Data Recovery

Restoring data with Hetman RAID Recovery

This program recovers data from damaged RAID arrays and is fully compatible with QNAP TVS-882T. The hard disks that make up the RAID contain technical information about the algorithm used to save files. When launched, Hetman RAID Recovery reads this information and puts the damaged array together. Then you can open the disk and save your files. Also, you can recover the files accidentally deleted from the network drive.

TVS-882T has 8 HDD slots, and it supports the following array types:

RAID 50;
RAID 60;
RAID 6;
RAID 5;
RAID 10;
RAID 0;
RAID 1;
JBOD;

NAS supports:

ZFS;
EXT4;
EXT3;
exFAT;
FAT32 (External Disk Only);
NTFS (External Disk Only);
HFS+ (External Disk Read Only);

Safe recovery from disk images

This utility lets you save an entire copy of the disk to file and then work with this image instead of the actual disk. Such feature helps to protect data on the disk from:

Overwriting during the recovery process;
Loss resulting from bad sectors;
User mistakes.

To create an image, do the following:

Make sure that you have enough free space to save the image. The image file size usually equals the disk size.
Select the disk in the main window, and choose from the menu Tools – Save Disk. You can select multiple disks to be saved.
When the image creation wizard starts, you can choose to save the entire disk or select only a part of it. Specify the parameters and click Next.
At this stage, you need to choose a directory where to save the image. Choose any disk connected to this PC, or save the image by FTP.

Where are user’s files stored?

The QNAP TVS-882T network-attached storage keeps QTS (QuTS hero) operating system files on a separate RAID 1 (mirrored) array. Usually, all NAS systems create several volumes on every hard disk, and the first of them takes up to 2 Gb of space. This is where operating system files are stored. Other volumes are united into a RAID array where user’s data is written.

  Yes, there are several precautions that need to be taken while attempting data recovery from a NAS QNAP TVS-882T device. Here are some important ones:
  Avoid further data writes: Do not save or modify any data on the QNAP device after data loss occurs. This helps prevent overwriting the lost data and increases the chances of successful recovery.
  Disconnect the device: Immediately disconnect the QNAP NAS from the power source and network to prevent any automatic updates, synchronization, or background processes that may interfere with the recovery process.
  Consult a professional: It is recommended to seek assistance from a professional data recovery service or a specialist with experience in recovering data from QNAP NAS devices. They have the expertise and tools required to handle the recovery process properly.
  Do not attempt DIY recovery: Avoid using generic data recovery software or attempting DIY recovery methods unless you have prior experience and knowledge. Incorrect procedures can lead to further data loss or permanent damage to the device.
  Preserve the original configuration: If possible, try to preserve the original configuration of the QNAP NAS device. Avoid modifying or resetting the settings, as this can impact the recovery process or make it more challenging.
  Backup the NAS: Before attempting any recovery, it is always recommended to have a backup of the NAS device. This ensures that even if the recovery process fails, you still have a copy of your important data.
  Remember, data recovery from a NAS device can be complex and delicate, so it is best to consult professionals who specialize in this field to maximize the chances of successful recovery.
