Tonight's adventure - getting data off a 2007 Buffalo drive.

  1. Remember 2007 password,
  2. Notice the drive is blinking 7 times - useless.
  3. Find 8-year-old Buffalo RAID forum discussion
  4. Copy links into Wayback Machine
  5. Discover executable too
  6. Translate German
  7. Install Java, run old software
  1. Software breaks in, SSH balks at encryption.
  1. Download 2012 ssh client
  2. SSH in, enable SFTP
  3. Open SFTP session
  4. Start transferring files off supposedly-horked RAID array.

@Albatross That sure is a lot of steps to do. 😮

@Aaron_Davis Steps are easy if, like me, you accomplish them by starting at the top and tumbling head over heels to the bottom.
