Phone repair did not recover data
Avoid resets, board swaps without data priority, charging wet devices, or approving erase prompts.
IT vendor rebuilt or replaced disks
Record disk order, warnings, replaced members, rebuild status, and NAS/server model before doing more.

Do not delete the partial copy. It may show directory structure, file names, or corruption patterns that matter.

Escalate before another standard repair attempt if payroll, accounting, legal, medical, production, or client work is involved.
