ATA errors on one disk, failed other disk

Regarding disk 2, this also needs to be replaced, as you are planning.
Make sure your backup is right up to date and verified before you put in the first replacement disk, the resync may well finish off the other bad disk.
Regarding your backups, what protocol are you using, and what are you backing up to, another nas or a USB drive?
It is definitely taking too long for incremental, unless you have a lot of data added each data
USB drive (by port). Formatted EXT3.
The NAS in question belongs to a computer illiterate friend, who lives 300 miles away but happens to be staying here (going home tomorrow). I help him with it.
My NVX isn't much faster (6h for 700gb) to its USB drive formatted EXT3.
