Did you make the back-up before the issue happened?

You need to constantly make backups of your "Saves" folder. Theres nothing you can but start fresh

Thats a sad reality I have to face when living in a shotty country with often power outages as well. Just make backups every hour or so. Also, dont make a backup while your save is still loaded
