Anyone here have any experience with data recovery on Thecus

I have a Thecus N5200 with a file that was deleted and needs to be recovered. There are 5 drives in the array. The drives and the array are perfectly intact. It's just a single file that was deleted and needs to be recovered. Unfortunately they appear to use proprietary file systems, so we cannot rebuild the array and destripe it. I was wondering if anyone else has run into similar issues, and what you might have done to recover from them.

Hi,

Even if you rebuild the raid and de-stripe it, you may find that
your file has gone forever.In NAS drives, because of the way some
journalling filesystems like Linux-XFS work, there is *NO WAY* to
recover deleted files.

I hope your case is different :D
