Corrupt Drive!
Posted: Tue 02 Dec 2014 10:31 pm
I recently moved all my server stuff (Cumulus, plex, Blue Iris, etc) to a new server. I have an SSD as the C drive and it seems to have had some corruption. The C:\Cumulus folder is missing, and I can't find it anywhere. I did use an app called FreeUnDelete that found and moved a bunch of files, (including one called found.022 that the shortcut to Cumulus seems to be pointint to) but the recovered folders don't have the data.
The odd thing is that right now Cumulus is running, and if I shut it down and double click the shortcut on the desktop, it starts right up. The problem became apparent today when I went to go set up the backups to the NAS, and I couldn't find it.
So, I am now trying to figure out what to do. I have a backup from the old computer on a drive that I can remove and install on another computer to get, but it is about 2 weeks old. I have been using Weatherlink and have that data, and I have been uploading to WeatherUnderground. I plan on taking screen shots of all the config pages so I can re-install, but what can I do about the data? It goes back to Jan 2013? What are the reprecussions of it missing in the new Cumulus? How can I get the missing data back if I can't recover from the bad drive?
Any ideas on getting the info from the corrupt drive?
Thanks for any help at all!
