If you planned ahead you’ll have a spare drive of the same make and model as the other drives in the NAS. You can see my previous post on shopping for a new hard drive here.
You can find details on how to setup Synology to backup to Amazon S3 here. If you don’t have enough storage space to backup your NAS you may want to look at buying more hard drives ($60-$90 per TB for life of drive) or using Amazon S3 backup ($143 per TB per month adds up). Please backup your data before proceeding. Your NAS is currently running with no safety net if another drive fails (unless you are using SHR with 2 drive redundancy).
If the data is important and you haven’t backed it up, please do so. Look for red X’s that will have event messages that look something like: “Volume was degraded, please repair it.”, “Write error at md2 disk2 sector 12345678”, “Internal disk was defective.” or “System volume was degraded, current disk status, please repair it.”
