That drive is toast.. the giveaway here is the over 1000 "Current
Pending Sectors.".. there's no point trying to convert this drive to
DUP,, it must simply be stopped, and what files you can successfully
copy consider lucky.  The rest depends on your backup...  (I wasn't
clear on why your backup is supposed to be bad... BTRFS should have
caught any errors during the backup and stopped things with I/O errors.)
