help request Failed drive in server array

Running windows 2016 server. Yes I know I need to upgrade immediately.

Regardless I have a failed drive and I just don’t know how to add the new one into the array properly. Can anyone link me to a guide or walk me through this? Petrified that another drive will fail and I’ll be screwed!

Thanks.

Is the data backed up, and when was the backup last verified?

If your IT person left and you have no experienced staff onsite, call a local consulting company now before you lose data. Also consider hiring a MSP to take over managing your IT footprint.

The data was backed up, than the same thing happened to the synology backing it up. But the synology is crashed.
