If you have a Copy Storage Pool, what you want to do is a Restore Volume.
Lacking that, do Move Data to get as much data off as can be recovered,
repeating on as many drives as you have to make a maximal recovery attempt.
Beyond that you have no in-server backups of the data and may have to
consider it lost.

You may want to consider software and/or firmware updates to deal with
the "loop" situation if it really is that.  (It may simply be time being
taken by the drive to try to re-read the data, making its best effort to
retrieve the information.)
