Hi GrahamCrafter,
The change of status of your volume from Redundant to Degraded means that one of the disks has already failed. There is no more redundancy on your volume so if another disk fails, it will result in loss of the volume.
It will be best to download the NAS system logs, then check the disk_info.log and see which disk has failed. You may download it by going to System > Logs, then click the Download Logs button. After finding out which disk has failed, it is advisable to do a full backup of your data then replace the failed drive so it will rebuild.
Regards,
