🔍 Our Netgear NAS RAID Recovery Process
1. Disk Imaging & Diagnostics
- All drives are removed and imaged using forensic-grade, write-blocked tools.
- Damaged drives are stabilised using multi-pass imaging to recover as much raw data as possible.
2. RAID Configuration Analysis
- We reconstruct the RAID manually if metadata is corrupt or missing.
- Stripe size, order, parity rotation, and file system structure are determined using advanced RAID emulation software.
3. Volume & File System Repair
- For EXT4 and BTRFS systems, we manually rebuild volume headers, superblocks, and damaged inode structures.
- Crashed or inactive volumes are virtually mounted and extracted in a secure lab environment.
4. Data Recovery & Integrity Testing
- Files are recovered from the reconstructed array, verified, and organised in their original folder hierarchy.
- Where necessary, raw recovery is used to extract data fragments from corrupted file systems.
5. Secure Data Return
- Recovered data is transferred to a new storage medium and returned with a full recovery report.
- Our team ensures all client data is handled confidentially and in compliance with UK GDPR standards.
