Installed FreeNAS, transferred all my data, somehow deleted the wrong dataset and cannot recover it.
Is there someone or somewhere I can take my box near Vancouver BC to get my data recovered? 20 yrs of Photos and Music etc.
I looked at some of the data recovery services in my area but they don't seem to have much knowledge regarding FreeNAS
Any help is appreciated.

First thing to do is pull the plug(as in, do not shutdown), which hopefully you did long ago.

Second, is to consider whether you can recover anything from the original sources you transferred data from.

Third, what was the pool drive arrangement, and how did you delete it? Were automatic snapshots enabled?

Quickest way to recover is to restore from backups.

Snapshots will only work if the dataset still exists. When a dataset is deleted, the snapshots go with it.
