USB Died - Backup of old Array config - New config has new parity disk

[gilbertotron]

Hello forum people!

 

I'm hoping one of you lovely people can give me some advice or insight.

So my USB died the beginning of the week - I restored to a backup, only to realise the backup was taken before I added two new drives to my array and swapped out the parity drive.

I had four 6TB drives setup - 3 data and 1 for Parity.

I added 2 new 8TB drives last month sometime - which necessitated me swapping out the parity drive.

Now I've restored to the backup before the changes took place and it wants to use the original parity -

So I'm not sure how I should proceed? 

I can't assign the 8TB to parity as its telling me it will wipe it.

 

Any help or advice gratefully received.

Thank you!
