    u/TillAny4068, iOS, the operating system on all iPhones, is a closed developed OS by apple.

    Any third party software out there, MUST use, in one way or another, apples drivers, whether they like it or not, to access the device.

    Therefor, whehter you use itunes to make a backup of your device or a third party app, you are still using the same drivers, thus making the same api calls.

    u/tiredsongtiredradio, our oldest iphone in our household is an iPhone 3G. That is the second iPhone device ever released by apple.

    On that particular device (our iphone 3G) we have never replaced it’s battery, which it is severely degraded, so a charge lasts maybe 3 days max.

    We use that device at home as a glorified remote control for our media center home theater system and as a media player.

    Outside of iphones, we have 1st Gen ipod(s) as well and those, just like the iphone 3G, are all still working today (still with their original hardware, indlucing battery as well)

    How long will they last?.. can’t tell you as they are still going strong todate.

    u/aj_bglr, the article is titled:

    ‘How to move your account information from the WhatsApp Business app to WhatsApp Messenger’

    which is what you are looking for (see title of your own post).

    Therefor, I suggest you follow those instructions (see article in my prior post).

    Or

    If those steps are too difficult for you to follow, then you will have to look for other options, such a third party app, which there are plenty and you can find them via google search, though most (if not all) of them are not free.

    Best Regards and good luck with the migration efforts

    u/mrqwest, No (answer to your question in the title of your post, that ibased on the picture you submitted with your post).

    Am I SOL in terms of data retrieval?

    as other redditor already suggested, place your question in the r/datarecovery subreddit.

    Data recovery is definitely possible, depends on your budget and level condition of the drive --read your own comment that you tried to ‘repair’ it… sometimes that creates more problems than solutions… in that case you’ll need a proffessional data recovery service, which again, depending on your budget and how valuable that data in the drive is to you (you never had a backup of that data?), then it will depend how you can go about recovering the data (or as much as possible) from the drive itself.

    If you want to go the data recovery professional service router, then you’ll be best doing a google search in the area where you live, get in contact and go from there.

    u/Stt022, man, I’m sorry for your (almost) loss… (though you have not yet killed the NAS)

    For the past 15+ or so years (about… plus minus a year or so), I modified my Home network to have all devices completly off… that was NASes, Switches, PCs, Home Server(s) (had a few at home), home sound system, everything off.

    That change + (back then) I swtiched every single light bulb to LEDs…

    That translated to almost 70% reduction in my energy comsumption…

    Seeing that change on my monthly bill was nice… and has kept every since.

    You could look into just shutting the devices down and only turning them on, on a need-to-use basis… you then get to keep your NAS, reduce your energy costs and save some doe.

    Let me know what you think (or if there are additional considerations to think about)

    u/100GHz, ZERO (answer to the question in title of your post)

    Same OEM for 20+ years.

    With that said, over the years, I’ve replaced the NAS(es) ca. every 4 years to their newer model (and with each newer NAS, then also new/larger drives as well)… so ca. 5th Generations of NAS Systems in that time frame todate

    Note:

    I always purchase at least 2 if not 4 of the same exact model and brand NAS (mainly for HA and/or redundancy --‘redundancy’ is NOT backup-- purposes… aka. one physical NAS dies, then you can literally take the drives out of the defective one, stick them into one of the other NAS, boot the device and have immediate access to the data if you are in a pinch --while the ‘temp’ replacement NAS drives will be out of the chasis and of course not available–)

    Best Regards
