I hope someone can help, I am in need of serious assistance. I have a Snap Server 4500 Running Guardian OS version 2.4.040 (once we purchased the Snaps new, I have (7) 4500's, we never messed with them. I went into my Snap this morning over the network and it stated that "there are no Shares to publish" AAAHHHHHHHHHH. It was the default RAID 5 set up with 4x250 Maxtors. I looked in the event log and it stated that 2/4 devices failed and the RAID shows as failed. I can log into the Snap with no issues.

The issue is that all four drives spin and I can see all the partitions on the drives (I used forensic software to view the drives). So, I am assuming it is the controller on the Snap server that is the issue and not the hard drives themselves. How do I get the data back? Can I clone the drives and put them into another 4500?

I tried to update my Snap O/S, but I am out of the authorized time period for downloads. Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated.
