Just asking for some clarification: * Are you saying that the files in the image are not visible with a file carving tool such as photorec? I'd only suggest file carving as a last resort as it is time consuming, but I've had success with it particularly for static photo collections which tend to be small files and relatively unfragmented, and you can use the jpg exif data to reconstruct a semi-useful filename. * When the good disk was 'wiped', was it just formatted or completely erased? If you do have to do low level file recovery, it might be better to work with that image instead (assuming you have more spare terabytes of storage lying around to copy it onto!) * When you say raid 'filesystem', are you saying it isn't a standard file system on top of the raid? Or that there is a backup format on top of the filesystem, maybe compressed? All the best with the recovery, Glenn -- pgp: 833A 67F6 1966 EF5F 7AF1 DFF6 75B7 5621 6D65 6D65
