With 25 years of data recovery expertise, Coventry Data Recovery is the trusted choice for recovering data from Asustor NAS systems impacted by Deadbolt ransomware, bad sectors, and RAID rebuild failures. We specialise in recovering data from degraded or corrupted RAID arrays where sector damage has led to unrecoverable drives or unsuccessful rebuilds.
✅ Common Asustor NAS Failure: Bad Sectors + Deadbolt Encryption
One of the most challenging scenarios involves multiple drives in a RAID array developing bad sectors, combined with a ransomware event like Deadbolt. This combination often results in:
- Failed RAID rebuild attempts
- Unreadable or partially encrypted volumes
- Logical volume corruption
- Incomplete file structures
🔧 How We Recover Data from Asustor Deadbolt-Affected NAS Systems
Our professional recovery workflow for Asustor NAS systems with Deadbolt ransomware and bad sectors involves multiple advanced steps:
Step 1: Initial Drive Imaging
- Each disk in the array is imaged sector-by-sector using hardware-level data extractors (e.g. DeepSpar Disk Imager, PC-3000).
- Drives with bad sectors are read using multi-pass imaging and controlled re-reads to avoid additional damage.
Step 2: Sector Error Analysis & Parity Consistency Checks
- Sectors are analysed for CRC errors, unreadable blocks, and parity mismatches.
- Data recovery tools such as UFS Explorer RAID Recovery are used to reconstruct logical structures while bypassing unreadable sectors.
Step 3: RAID Array Virtual Reconstruction
- The original RAID parameters (stripe size, order, parity rotation) are determined either via metadata analysis or forensic deduction.
- A virtual RAID environment is created to simulate the working RAID structure without risking original drives.
Step 4: Deadbolt Ransomware Decryption (If Applicable)
- The encryption scope is determined (full volume vs. selected folders).
- If a key is available, we decrypt using custom tools or vendor-supported processes.
- If no key is available, partial file carving and header analysis are performed on unencrypted sectors to salvage usable data.
Step 5: Data Integrity Verification
- All recovered files are verified for logical consistency, format structure, and recoverability.
- Damaged files are rebuilt where possible using signature-based recovery and file repair software.
Step 6: Data Export & Delivery
- Recovered files are copied to a secure new storage medium.
- For critical data, secure file transfer options (SFTP, encrypted drives) are also available.

📞 Contact Our RAID Engineers Today
If your Asustor NAS has failed due to bad sectors and Deadbolt ransomware, do not attempt to rebuild the array yourself. Powering on failing drives or initiating rebuilds may result in permanent loss.
