Data restoring from a formatted drive RAID-0 Drive
Hey all,
This is a storage question and I apologise if this might not be at the right side of the forum. I was tired from long sessions, under-slept, scarred from battling with a tantrum-generating 2-year old and I goofed up like I haven't before: I currently keep a backup drive of everything. I use both CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner) and Chronosync (for different tasks). System drives, SFX drives, etc., all stored in a different drive. One kept at the home studio and one at the work studio. I have two 8TB RAID-0 drives that contain(ed) all my music libraries, VI instruments data, NI Kontakt Libraries, loops, etc.
And here are a couple of questions: Do you guys know of any Data Recovery software that can "see" the folder structure in its original, pre-formatted state to restore it in it's entirety? I have tried a couple apps already and they seem to recognise the data but bring them back in folders arranged by data type with nondescript names. The fact that is was formatted as exFat, does it meddle at all from the previous HFS+ Journaled stated? I am a dubbing mixer & sound editor, so my bread and butter is not in music making. So, it is not something urgent. Still a massive loss. If anyone knows something concrete please do share it with me. |

This software is amazing, I used it to recover a completely trashed NTFS drive. It had got so corrupted nothing else I tried could deal with it/repair it. It got 99% of the files back. Good luck! Pete |

Yeah, to be honest I'm not aware of anything in the Mac world that's anywhere near as capable. One thing to note, it can take HOURS to run.

Oh, yes, you are absolutely right! It seems that 88 hours are needed in my case.

I've had great and fast results with this tool:
