July 12, 20205 yr Hi, No luck this morning 2 XFS encrypted disks failed on my array after a storm... May I send these disks to a recovery disk service and decrypt recovered files using my encryption key ? Do yo know how to restore encrypted data on failed drive ?

Now I know I can keep hope to restore my data. Having my two failed drive on my desk, I do not know what to do best I will call the recovery disk service this morning. 1 - The best solution would be to repair one of the 2 disks so I can rebuild the complete Array. but I have doubt this is possible. 2 - They only restore encrypted files then I decrypt them on a Linux distro with LUKS (Process to do it is not crystal clear yet) 3 - They restore and decrypt the files. That mean I sent them the key. Did you already experience such problem ? Edited July 13, 20205 yr by Fabiolander
July 13, 20205 yr Community Expert No, I don't use encryption, also if you can get a sector by sector copy of one of the failed disks you can rebuild the array (assuming parity was valid).
July 13, 20205 yr Sorry to hear Fabiolander, that's certainly a depressing situation. It's encouraging me, though, to swap one of my data drives as a second parity drive.
