Hello All,
I know BACKUPS are essential. I never had the money to do a backup, so this machine only gets turned on when needed; now I'm doing it, but as the saying goes too long, too late. In Advance, thank you to everyone who will help.
I think I deleted files, now long story short, I don't know how much data I used to have. I believe it's around 3TB as my zfs on the proxmox shows 3TB used out of 5TB.
But a few days/weeks ago, I think I delete something within the dataset, not the dataset, but something within it. When I did, I checked, and I could see my folders which I can still see (stupid, I didn't check the files, only folders ).
Today I say I only have 500GB on my TrueNAS; I then checked my data, and all my old data files, not folders, files, which like before 2019, are not showing.
The whole structure is there, but not the files; the files are gone.
Any way to recover the data files? Or what has happened? Can I mount the qcow2 to a ubuntu image and use TestDisk?
System;
CPU: 16 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2609 v4 @ 1.70GHz (2 Sockets)
RAM: 256GB
Running Proxmox OS on an NVME
6 * 8TB HDD in zfs Mirrored (mirror-0 then mirror-1 then mirror-2)
Virtualised TrueNas;
CPU: 4 Cores
RAM: 32GB
OS HDD is a virtual qcow2; 20gb sitting on NVME
Data HDD is a virtual qcow2; 5TB sitting on the zfs
