The Problem
I have a broken Windows Server software RAID-5 array that I would like to backup, but I want to avoid backing up all the broken files.
I'd really love for there to be some kind of script or program that can scan by HDD for corrupt files and simply delete them.
My Google-Fu returns results with how to recover or repair those files- I just want to delete them.
How I managed to break it:
I migrated my software RAID 5 from Windows Server 2008 R2 to new hardware and Windows Server 2012 R2. The move was more or less successful; I just needed to do some resynchronising. I forgot that it was resynchronising and turned it off to move it's physical location.
Oops.
After weeks of CHKDSK and SeaTools and other random attempts at recovering the drives, I've decided to give up on recovery and rebuild the whole thing whilst salvaging as much as I can.
EDIT
The work around
Using ffmeg kinda worked but it but I didn't have a clean and automated solution in Windows Server 2012. My PowerShell attempt took too long and yielded an un-readable log file.
Instead, I installed FileZilla Server and I have simply queued all of my files to be copied to my backup devices and any bad files end up in the Failed transfers tab of the FileZilla Client.
