Well powering down, connecting the failing disk up to a PC and cloning the failing disk using dd_rescue (e.g. using a Linux Live CD, there are instructions on the forum for this) would be one option.
Note if the disk is failing dd_rescue may not be able to successfully clone all of your data but it should help you to recover most of it.
What you recover you should compare with what you have in your backup (though it sounds like you may not have made one) as some files may be corrupt. The copy in a backup from before the disks in the NAS had issues may be more reliable.
You may also wish to make an Online Submission (see the link in my sig) and see what support suggests.
