QNAP also provides various advanced utilities, such as immutable storage, snapshots, Network Recycle Bin, etc., to protect the data in different data loss scenarios. In case you have accidentally deleted some files or an entire volume or partition, then you can perform QNAP file recovery using the built-in features mentioned above or a specialized NAS data recovery software.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-perform-qnap-data-recovery?\">How to Perform QNAP Data Recovery?<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have accidentally deleted some important files from your QNAP NAS device, follow the methods explained below.<\/p><blockquote class=\"note_alert\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Caution: <\/strong><em>Before you proceed with the methods explained below, make sure to stop READING or WRITING (including automatic data backups) to the NAS right away. Doing this helps avoid overwriting data and increases the chances of recovering deleted files.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 1: Recover Deleted Files From QNAP NAS via Network Recycle Bin<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have enabled the Network Recycle Bin on your QNAP NAS, you can use it to recover deleted files on your QNAP NAS. It contains files deleted from the NAS device via File Station, Samba, and FTP. It retains the deleted files and folders for 180 days. If you have enabled this utility, follow the steps below to recover the deleted files from your QNAP NAS device:<\/p><blockquote class=\"note_alert\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> <em>The steps below work for both QNAP QTS and QuTS Hero operating systems that format the member drives of the NAS with ext4 and ZFS file systems, respectively.

This feature allows you to create snapshots of volumes\/partitions, take block-based snapshots of modified data, and create regular snapshots using versioning. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qnap.com\/it-it\/how-to\/tutorial\/article\/using-snapshots-in-qts-4-3-4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">use the snapshots<\/a> to perform QNAP data recovery and restore entire partition\/LUN, specific files or folders, etc.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 3: Use a Dedicated NAS Data Recovery Software<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To simplify the process of recovering files from your QNAP NAS device, you can use <strong>Stellar Toolkit for Data Recovery<\/strong>. It is an advanced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/data-recovery-toolkit.php\">NAS data recovery software<\/a> that helps you recover data lost from QNAP NAS devices in various situations, including accidental deletion, volume formatting, and member drive failure. It recovers data from an SSH-enabled NAS by establishing a secure connection with the QNAP NAS connected over the same local network. Apart from QNAP, it can recover data from NAS devices of brands such as Synology and ASUSTOR.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This software also supports data recovery from RAID-based QNAP NAS devices. However, this process is dependent upon the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/article\/basics-of-raid-array.php\">type of RAID<\/a> configuration and the number of drive failure. Additionally, this data recovery software can help you recover lost data from popular virtual machine image files, like VMDK, VHD, VDI, VHDX, etc.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the steps to use <strong>Stellar Toolkit for Data Recovery<\/strong> to perform QNAP file recovery using the SSH protocol:<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you proceed, make sure you have enabled SSH settings in QNAP NAS.
