A theoretical question about system recovery.

Now I have a server on it
2 ssd drives - pve + pbs in parallel
6 disks for backup, with pbs
4 disks for storage (on pve there is a windows server with AD, for storage. It has only files, all virtual machines on SSD

My question is this. Here, for example, my pve+pds breaks, or the disk fails, I change it, but I have to reinstall the system. I put pve + pbs set up initially.
But then the question is how do I mount the rest of the disks so as not to lose data from them, but simply upload them.

I have a del R730xd server with a raid controller, where virtual raid arrays are assembled at its level
2 ssd - raid 1, 6 hdd - raid 5, 4 hdd - raid 5.

Will it be enough for me to simply mount the disks and everything will work? I wanted to test this when setting up, but due to the urgency, I had to leave such a test and set it up for work
 
its always better to backup the hole os installation. F.i. u can use a usb disk and rear or backup to the cloud with duplicity.
