Size destination drive larger than source.

First of all I'd like to thank Christophe Grenier and his crew for this incredible tool or tools. Being a multi-platform user I like the simplicity and effectivnes of these tools. For simple recovery it just works very well. But I encountered a problem that I'm not able to solve.
I have a Qnap NAS running the latest 4.2 QTS firmware, but after the release there appeared to be a bug that causes a structural message that the filesystem was not clean after a reboot. After several reboots and before the fix was available (QTS 4.2.1) my system broke down. I (and the technicians from Qnap) were not able to restore my system with the Qnap tools provided from them. So the system can be installed newly but than I loose all my files. Yes I didn't have a backup, cause I thought that wasn't necessary in case of a raid5 volume. Guess I was wrong.
Being a X86 NAS I got the idea to run the NAS using a Linux version. After several attempt the best config was running a Linux Live version of SystemRescueCD. I see the four (3Tb) discs (2.7) Tb and the different Volumes. I'm trying to use a external USB case running two 3Tb discs as JBOD (5.6 Tb).
Parted sees al discs and the 5.6Tb Volume, but when I'm trying to recover JPG files from one 2.7Tb Volume and choosing the 5.6 Tb usb Volume, Photorec says there is not enough space.
This is very curious, cause the destination volume is larger than the source volume. What am I doing wrong?
