R-Studio only works if the Agent ist installed on the system that hosts the drives. But it seems a product woth to look at in a server client environment. For dedicated NAS boxes i think there is no agent.
Hi Andreas,
Yes, you are correct.
The agent needs to be loaded on the machine to be recovered - preferably via a boot CD (or memory stick) so as not to overwrite any data.
The alternative would be to remove the drive(s) and mount them on another machine if you are trying to recover a NAS device for instance.
R-Studio have the option to assemble and mount RAID drives (volumes).

Otherwise, depending on the OS used on the server, you cab sometimes use builtin features, such as shadow copies if it is a windoze OS and the feature was enabled. If not, you have to shutdown the server, boot it from a LiveCD or from a separate OS (not the server's OS), and then use a tool like testdisk/photorec, or if you are booting from a Windows OS, getdataback, to search for the files and then copy them off to some other location, like a USB stick. But the search can take very long and during that time no one will be able to use the server.
