Then I'd try to repartition and format and run some checks. Check SMART info.
It might be just a filesystem glitch. It might be unrecoverable hardware failure. It might be the start of a cascade of hardware errors. Or it might be fine.
If you don't have a Linux box, use Linux from a thumbdrive to try to revive the disk. Gparted is a good tool.
To be honest, I am not really sure if I have backups... I set everything up a long time ago and I have forgotten a lot. 
All I know is I have a snapraid setup. I'll have to figure out what that means again.
Looking at SMART, there are some intriguing things under attributes:
lots of pre-fail, and old age attributes listed
Reallocated sectors is worrying. Red dot. As I understand it the HD has error areas and swapped them for spares to fix it. And the spares are running out. I think that drive is close to dead. But it has given good service for almost five years. Not bad!
You are in the forest.
You were shot in the leg.
