40tb pacs storage seems empty but we knew there is 17 tb data is there any possible reason to show disk as it has been formatted. when I used data scavenger I found all data . ?t was 12* 4 tb raid 5 storage in 1 volume. ?t was our PACS storage with win 2008 server. Our files on that storage was reachable till ten days ago but now the volume is empty. I have a suspicion about someone changed the volume information. Because data scavenger can find and restore image files and I can export them. So I am asking, is there any possible way to show a volume empty without wiping it. So I am asking how can I restore system files to rescue our hospital pacs files. Maybe someone deleted system files NOT accidently. And is there any app to restore only system files.....

Yes. File system corruption from various different possible causes can cause a volume to appear as if it were formatted.
