    1. RAID is never a replacement for backups.
    2. Never work directly with a surviving disk, clone it and work with the cloned drive.
    3. Are you sure you can’t rebuild the RAID? That really is the best solution in many cases.
    4. If a RAID failure is within tolerance (1 drive in a RAID5 array) then it should still be operational. Make a backup before rebuilding if you don’t have one already.
    5. If more disks are gone than that then don’t count on recovering all data even with data recovery tools.
