Network Storage Recovery

Network Storage Recovery

is a range of specialized utilities designed exclusively for data recovery from NAS appliances of major manufacturers, like Buffalo, Synology, QNAP and Western Digital. Operating via LAN, the software saves you the hassle of disassembling the device and simplifies the procedure to several easy steps.

Effortless data recovery from NAS

Put your toolbox aside: there is no need to perform any manipulations with the internal hardware of your computer or NAS unit. Just turn the NAS on, launch the software on a PC and get your lost files back.

Easy and quick data recovery
NAS recovery without removing disks

The running storage gets automatically recognized by the program and presented in the interface for further data recovery. As all the operations are carried out over a network, it is not necessary to open the device, extract it drives and attach them to the computer. All you have to do is to ensure that the NAS appliance is functioning properly and the PC which executes the software is connected to the same LAN segment. The feature is particularly useful for sealed NAS boxes as well as ones constituting a large number of member disks that may not be hosted by a single machine without additional equipment.

Adapted to the peculiarities of NAS architecture

Each of the programs has been developed in accordance with the individual characteristics of NAS units offered by the corresponding manufacturer. Therefore, they are not only compatible with their hardware, firmware and software components but are also ideally suited for work with their file systems, RAID configurations and other proprietary technologies they are based on. Consideration of the device specifics allows making the process of data recovery from NAS maximally efficient and smooth.

Automatic reconstruction of RAID

For NAS appliances employing RAID the software automatically finds all the needed RAID parameters, such as drives order, level, stripe size and others, and uses them to instantly assemble the storage. In case of serious metadata damage, the array can be constructed manually with the help of an adjustable and convenient RAID builder. This tool enables multiple rebuilding of RAID as the process is performed in a virtual mode and doesn’t affect any data on the source storage medium.

Frequently asked questions

Can Network Storage Recovery be harmful for my NAS or the data on it?
Network Storage Recovery will not write anything to the problem storage or transfer your data to any off-site servers, so using the software to regain the missing files is completely safe. However, if the NAS drives have any physical defects, such as scratches on the surface, or when they contain bad blocks, it is highly recommended to consult a reliable data recovery service provider instead of attempting a self-made procedure, as the results in this case may be unpredictable. (Bad blocks on disks can be identified with the help of "S.M.A.R.T health diagnostics" in the NAS web interface). Also, please note that during data recovery your storage may heat up much due to the increased load, so appropriate cooling should be ensured.
Is Network Storage Recovery suitable for any NAS box?
Network Storage Recovery is represented by multiple software editions, covering most NAS units of popular manufacturers: Buffalo, Synology, Western Digital and QNAP Systems. For a detailed list of the supported NAS models, please, refer to the specifications of the corresponding product in the Software Store or the Network Storage Recovery website.
Can I use the software if my NAS unit won’t start?
Work with a NAS box over LAN is only possible as long as the device can be booted and is detected by the software via a networking protocol. Otherwise, such a box requires disassembly and further connection of its drives to the computer. The latter case cannot be handled with Network Storage Recovery – depending on the storage configuration, you may consider using Raise Data Recovery, Recovery Explorer or UFS Explorer products.
