Replacing one of my drives (Disk4) on my server caused a lot of file errors on that disks. I created a backup of the entire flash drive prior to performing this change. Can I just copy back all the backed up files to my flash drive and replace the new disk4 with the old drive? Will everything be OK after that, or do I still need to do anything else?

Yes, you will probably also need to do a full parity check.

I proceeded to go back to my old drive and restored the backup of my previous flash drive contents. It finished doing a parity check overnight and now I wake up and it's done parity checking and it reports to finding 385199856 parity errors . What do I do with those now? I've included my syslog just in case.

It has already corrected parity. There is nothing to do.

You can run another parity check. It should now find no parity errors.
