WHS machine failed, ? about putting drives in another machine

[Ryan711]

My WHS machine failed, so until I can get a new machine up and running, I am putting my drives in my main desktop. On each drive there is a 'DE' folder and inside that folder is a folder called shares and one called folders.

The shares folder has all of my files, but the 'folders' folder has a bunch of multi-gigabyte .dat files in them. I'm just wondering if these could contain some of my data. I don't care about backups, just my files that were on there. I had about 4.5TB, so it's hard to know if what's in the 'shares' folders is everything.

Have you read this How to recover data after server failure article?

I did not, thanks. It seemed to have answered my question.
