Post-Disaster, Manually Extract Files From Data.4096 .dat Backups?

$

A drive in my WHS2011 server went down and took all the pictures of our son's first month of life with it.

The pictures were also on a client computer, but were recently deleted: after all, they were on the server, right?

I had StableBit Drive Pool installed, but it seems not to have gotten the pictures onto the other hard drive in the pool.

 

The only place from which I might hope to get the photos back, short of sending the dead drive out for expensive data recovery,

would be some client computer backups (the pictures were on a client computer hard drive for a while but were deleted after I installed DrivePool on the server.)

Problem is, I can't get WHS 2011 to start a restore. When I try and so so, the event log tells me:

 

The Windows Server Client Computer Backup Service failed at (149) of (e:\wssg_src\colorado_qfe\backup\pc\util\diskfile.cpp).

 

I suspect this is because I don't have a complete numbered set of Data.4096.*.dat files in the "Client Computer Backups" ServerFolder.

I have only 21 files numbered between 6 and 44, plus a DatabaseInfo.dat file.

 

I would be very happy if there were some way to trawl through those Data files for any .jpg files created in a particular date range.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
