As an atheist, I ask for prayers that the backup's good.

E: Your solidarity has worked. The backup is good and not too old. Note for myself and you - install your OS on a snapshotting filesystem so that live backups are possible.

Still probably repairable, but is it worth it if the cost is 50% or more of a new drive, since Op had no significant data loss?
