Yesterday I posted a problem; now I'd like to hire$ an expert to try to recover this through a remote session (SSH to the FreeNAS box, TeamViewer to a Windows PC...).
I know the time is money, and am willing to pay for it. But I need contact asap.

I have a FreeNAS 9.2.1 box that works perfectly with 6 3TB HDDs in RaidZ2. No problems with the box: hardware side runs smooth.
All the stuff on it was moved to another server 4 months ago, and today I intended to use it as a backup storage for the other server.
However, I forgot one VM was still using the FreeNAS as iSCSI server.
So, I deleted 4 datasets full of nothing useful, and 4 of the extents on the dataset that was holding the Extents for the iSCSI service. Left 2 of them, just in case.
Then I wiped all the snapshots, to recover the space.
To make it worse, made a new dataset, called "BACKUP", and started copying there the 2 extents I had left on the old dataset.
And, ofcourse, then found I had dumped one critical file, one used as Extent for iSCSI, wich was used as safe storage for another computer.
No, there are no backups, because this was supposedly just a backup.
