Best way to spread data across a bunch of spare drives for cold storage? (alien.top)

Long story short, I wiped a drive I shouldn't have and lost some data. Now I'm thinking of setting up a 'cold storage' array of sorts with the stack of spare 3.5" drives I have laying around. I'm thinking once a year backup

Is there an easy-ish way to backup a set of data that is spread across multiple drives without them all being mounted at once?
