Hi, can anyone help I have a gen 8 G1610T which is used as a VMware server for apps and storage. It currently had a flashing red light in area shown.

any ideas what this means ?

Looks like the drives or a drive has gone but no raid was configured :( are there any recovery options to get the data back

managed to recover the logical drive by pressing F2 to rebuild logical disk :). What is the fastest way to backup the data on the 3 disks. Should i use Veeam or just do a Windows backup of the data i need from the Shared Folders ?

My Plan is to sell the complete Micro server Gen 8 unit with the 3 x 3 WD Red drives as soon as i have finished a full backup as i am no longer doing any VMware stuff and need to clear my excess IT equipment

The less stress you can put on a potentially failing drive, the better, so concentrate on the most important data first.

I don't know if any of 3 drives is under stress as there is no errors shown in the ILO under system or Logical disk. Was it a blip ?
