Losing important files can be a nightmare for anyone, especially when the data is stored on a Synology NAS device. However, the good news is that there is a way to restore deleted files on Synology NAS devices. In this article, we’ll explore the various methods you can use to recover your lost files.
Restore from Recycle Bin
The first and easiest method to restore deleted files on a Synology NAS device is by checking the Recycle Bin. Synology NAS devices have a Recycle Bin feature that works just like the Recycle Bin on a Windows computer. If you have accidentally deleted a file, it will be moved to the Recycle Bin and can be easily restored. To restore files from the Recycle Bin, simply open the Recycle Bin folder and select the files you want to restore. Right-click on the selected files and select “Restore.”
Use the File Station
Another way to restore deleted files on a Synology NAS device is by using the File Station. The File Station is a web-based file management tool that allows you to access, manage, and restore your files. To restore deleted files using the File Station, simply log into the Synology NAS device and open the File Station. Navigate to the folder where the deleted files were located, right-click on the folder, and select “Previous Versions.” This will open a list of previous versions of the folder, including the deleted files. Select the version that contains the deleted files and restore them.
Use Data Recovery Software
If the above methods do not work, you can try using data recovery software to restore deleted files on a Synology NAS device. There are many data recovery software options available, including EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, Recuva, and Disk Drill. Simply download and install the software on your computer and run a scan of the Synology NAS device. The software will scan the device for deleted files and allow you to recover them.
Contact Synology Support
If none of the above methods work, you can contact Synology Support for assistance. The Synology Support team will be able to help you restore your deleted files. However, keep in mind that this is a last resort and should only be done if you have exhausted all other options.
In conclusion, losing important files on a Synology NAS device can be stressful, but there are several methods you can use to restore them. From checking the Recycle Bin to using data recovery software, there is always a solution to restore deleted files. With this guide, you can now confidently restore your lost files on a Synology NAS device.
