how to re-mount deleted storage volume

Long story short, I wanted to swap out a drive, and re-run a bakcup cycle. The drive had backup data, i wanted to put that drive in cold storage, and then put in the new drive and re-run the backup.

When i put in the new drive, it said the drive was corrupted. I deleted the volume (im stupid?) thinking i can easily remount the new drive, but turns out it's actually dead.

I put in the new drive, but have no way of having UGOS detect it as a mounted drive. I only have option to create a new volume which would erase all the data on it.

It's a backup, so no big deal other than the 8 hours it'll take to do the backup. But I am hoping that there's a way to have UGOS detect the originally removed drive and read it. Please help a noob out, if i'm toast then owell lesson learned.

The bigger quesiton is if I am trying to restore the backup to a new NAS, how do I get the NAS to read the drive without reformating it?
