I've got an old 5x5TB storage pool that I am convinced I set up with two-way parity at the time but now it seems is actually just one-way parity that right now refuses to function anymore. One disk failed as I was preparing to backup all the data, and another now refuses to attach.

the one that's marked as retired is dead and will not work, the other one should still function but for some reason refuses. If that drive is plugged in by itself the storage space is not detected and it's listed as storage spaces protective partition
in Disk Management.
Would anyone know how to reattach that one drive, or some other trick to recover some more data from the pool?
it currently shows up as:

Edit: don't assume there is a backup, there is no backup. The backup was supposed to be the 2-disk failover. The theoretical backup does also not answer the question. It's non critical data, while it's not great if it's gone, it won't hurt that much, I'm just trying to recover as much as possible.
I've tried running ReclaiMe Storage Spaces Recovery, which seems to work, however it is not worth a $300 licence to me to try and recover the files.
