You said you updated the disks. Did you
- remove all the old disks
- insert all the new disks
- install OS 4.2.31
- convert to OS-6
If not, can you detail the steps (particularly the disk updates)?

1) I had 6x1Tb os 4.2.31 one volume x-raid, two folders on it with data
2)Using x-raid functionality I changed disk one with a 2Tb, waited for rebuild
3)Using x-raid functionality I changed disk two with a 2Tb, waited for rebuild
same process till all 6 disk changed and rebuild done.
then
1)I had 6x2Tb os 4.2.31 one volume x-raid, two folders on it with data
2)Upgraded to os 6, due to upgrade I had to recreate a new x-raid volume
3)I realized I had a backup for only one folder (on other nas) and I shut down everything
So I don't know if I can recovery something from my old 1Tb disks or if I can recovery something from the latest configuration I have
Hope now is clear.

You can try a product like ReclaiMe to see if it can recover anythng from the old or new drive sets, but I wouldn't get your hopes up. It's expensive, but the free version does let you see if it'll work for you before you buy.

Likely not - it would have been much easier if you'd
- powered down and removed all the 1 TB disks
- inserted one 2 TB drive and converted to OS-6
- added the remaining 2 TB drives
- restored data from backup.
Then your 6x1TB array would be intact. With your process the old disks are definitely out of sync.
Still worth trying ReclaiMe - just don't pay for it until you see what it might recover.

Thank you all for the suggestion, I will try reclaime and let you know. Finger crossed.
