Hi people I need your help

with VeraCrypt (1.23 hotfix 2)
Seagate NAS
was mounted on Dock Station
on Win10 Home with 2012 model laptop

My seagate nas was mounted on dock and after I copied like GBs of data into it with fastcopy, volume started not to open files, after that I tried chkdsk /f /r but it didnt let me, Apparently all harddisk converted to RAW... MFT is lost
BTW I mounted regular not "Volume Mounted as Removable Medium" would it be better?

I can mount volume, but HD is RAW and inaccessible

Now How should I clone the harddisk, and try recovering MFT data, with which tools... My 15 years of work is on the line....

I just bought a new Ironwolf nas for backup before this but apparently my dock station, couldnt support it so there was no backup.... So I now possibly buy a big external WD elements to clone the data

Any suggestions please

Shouldnt a tool like VC also backup mbr partition etc. automatically or a visible button for it? If it is this easy to lose data on the fly?

Did you ever get this figured out? Did no one ever reply to your request?
