Default Re: Dead Snap HDD - data recovery centre needs info

The file system is SnapOS. Which is a highly modified BSD XFS system. So you want to thell them SnapOS. If they can not handle or know what it is they can not recover it corectly.

On the other side of the pond as yhaa say it. I would recommend contacting Douglas at FrontLine Data Recovery. He goes by the name Snap-tech here on the forum. He use to work for Quantium before SnapAppliance bought them, in the drive division. So he know the snaps really well. Sorry I don't have his number at the moment. Do a search for user Snap-Tech. There are several post with his phone number. Not sure if he got his web back up.
