Seagate BlackArmour 220 ext3 recovery

[kpeddie]

Hello

Does anyone here have any experience dealing with these and can perhaps give me a pointer. I have one of these in, in raid1. Both drives are physically fine but data apparently vanished all on its own... im not entirely convinced that thats actually what happened but all they had left was some empty folders. Ive ran rstudio and ufs over both drives largest volume and it finds some stuff, directories in the recyclebin and a chunk of raw files but something doesnt seem quite right. Also ran a recovery over one of the smaller ones which appears to be the linux os partition(about 1gb) it finds lots of files although mostly just raw, files are actually located in sectors outside of that partition though..

any ideas?

Will be glad to help remotely ( I love the BlackArmour, have 3 Units here)

PM if needed

good luck

if volume was formatted or many files were deleted - data is gone. It's because how ext3 is working when you delete files.

Disagree a bit. Structured data (file names and folder names) is gone , but RAW data (without names) still recoverable.
