WD Sharespace - Restoring Crashed Drive

Followed the directions on this website:
http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2749/session/L3RpbWUvMTM2MDM3MjczMi9zaWQvTmIxKkFuaWw%3D

Could not have been easier. Didn't even need a screwdriver. Now, three drive lights are flashing green. One drive light (Drive 2) is solid green.

After a while, all four drive lights started flashing green. I believe it's restoring the data automagically for me.

Navigation: Basic Mode - Storage - System Status

So, it appears that the system is attempting to recover the data.

Navigation: Advanced Mode - Storage - Volumes and RAID Management

This also indicates it's recovering data...

Navigation: Advanced Mode - Storage - Disk Manager

So, it says all four drives are good...

It appears to have started the restore at 6:30 p.m. MST.

I think now, we just wait and see. Should for about 5 hours, apparently?

Here's my log file. If you skip down to the bottom, you'll see it says it's recovering. Fingers crossed.

Update:

I checked on the progress at 6:14 a.m.

Navigation: Advanced Mode - Storage - Volumes and RAID Management

I realized that you can click on the link that says "Recovering" and get fairly detailed information on the recovery status. My latest calculation is that it will finish recovering in about 8 hours, so at about 2:30 p.m. Fingers crossed.

It looks like it's doing something. Every time it recovers another 20% of the data, it writes a row to the log file.

02/09 04:30:37 WDShareSpace daemon.warn wixEvent[1024]: Volume Status - Volume 'DataVolume' is resyncing, 60% had completed.

OK. Checking back at 12:30 p.m. MST:

02/09 08:11:33 WDShareSpace daemon.warn wixEvent[1024]: Volume Status - Volume 'DataVolume' is resyncing, 81% had completed.
02/09 11:52:53 WDShareSpace daemon.warn wixEvent[1024]: Volume Status - Volume 'DataVolume' works normally. (Resync 100% completed.)

I seems to think that it recovered everything at 8 minutes before noon. Now the question is...do I still have my data?

Oh h3ll yeah! We're rock-solid! Well done, WD. Well done!!! :) Woohoo!!!
