It does, and I already used it last night. It found /dev/sdc, but not
the partition /dev/sdc1. Gparted had a utility to search a disk for a
filesystem, which I left running overnight. It found nothing, so this
morning I bit the bullet, recreated and formatted the partition, and
then started copying everything from the backup Synology NAS. I started
the copying at about 9am, and it is now working on letter 'O.' I hope
to be done before bedtime tonight.
