Select the "Smart Mode", and then click the “Next” button.
(Once you get a RAID recovery case, we usually suggest you firstly select "Smart Mode", It is the most convenient and efficient Mode: Fast, Intelligent. Certainly, if you clearly know the RAID details, you can recover the data by directly using either the Manual Mode or User-defined Mode.)
Step 2: Load Image & Set Raid Parameters
The default set is Factory Type as "Standard" and the Raid Type as “Raid 5" (Here we should set the raid type to “Raid 5EE”), and then click the “Next” button to rebuild and recover the RAID Array.
Step 3: Analyze & Export Image
A) Analyze:
Click the “Analyze” button after your finish the parameter setup. Getway RAID Recovery software will display the parameters and the right "Disk Order" of your RAID Array, and also you can view the reconstructed partition information.
B) File View:
The Demo Version has the “File View” function as the Licensed version, so that you can first confirm the data before you purchase our software.
Select a “NTFS” partition (Now the version 2.0 just supports the NTFS' file view. It can't support other file systems now. However, you can get the data directly. We will update the software support other file systems in future.) and click “File View” button, a file browser will be popped up. You can view the folders and the files from the browser after successfully analyze. You can know the analysis was successful or not by this step.
If only part of the data was displayed or displayed data was incorrect, the reason is maybe the parameters which you set were incorrect (Although there are some differences among the different stripe orders, some of files coincide in the same location; that’s why you got the incomplete files or only part of the data when the parameters didn’t be set correctly. You should reset the parameters under the circumstances)
If parameters were completely correct and the files can be read normally, you can export the image.
C) Export Image:
After you verify the authenticity of the data, and also you sure you want to get the data back, you can purchase a License Key and activate the software. The detailed operations are as follow: after you get the License key, please click the “About” button and input the ID and License Key to activate the software.
Then you can export the partition as the image files or export the image to other hard disk.
Case 1: export the partition as the image files
Case 2: export the image to other hard disk.
Attention: Please don’t export the image to your system disk, otherwise it will cover the data which on your system disk.
Rebuild RAID:
Verify the authenticity of the image files, and then reload the image files to the new RAID Array. RAID Recovery is successful.
