Recovering lost data from disks used in network-based NAS/SAN storage systems. Tools to recover data from network-attached storage systems.
In this article we will examine how to recover data from RAID 5, RAID 6, and RAID 0 on an Infortrend ESDS 1012 RC server using Hetman Software tools. The recovery procedure is demonstrated on Windows 10; however, the software also supports macOS and Linux.

In this article we will examine how to perform data recovery from software RAID 5 and RAID 0 created using the Windows Storage Spaces and Windows Disk Management tools in Windows Server 2012. You will learn how to quickly restore access to information if the server fails, one of the drives malfunctions, or the operating system stops recognizing the RAID array. We will review common failure scenarios and demonstrate effective data recovery methods in environments where arrays are used for critical tasks: database storage, server services, or virtualization platforms.

Read about data recovery from Btrfs RAID 0, 5 and 6 arrays created in the Rockstor 5.1 operating system based on OpenSUSE Leap. We will analyze scenarios of logical errors, including accidental file deletion via network protocols SMB/CIFS, NFS, SFTP, AFP, or cases where data has been severely corrupted. Special attention will be paid to hardware issues such as drive failures, server hardware or entire NAS failures, as well as Rockstor software faults after updates or accidental system-disk wipes.

In this article we will examine how to recover data from a destroyed software RAID array assembled using Windows Storage Spaces on Windows Server 2025. We will also discuss the process of creating a RAID array using Disk Management, via Windows Storage Spaces and the Diskpart command-line utility. Most importantly — what to do if access to the disk array is lost or the RAID is damaged.
