I have a RPi4 with an external SSD for the bulk of my data. Today it stopped working and I've got a solid red and green light which a quick Google says corrupted eeprom or boot, etc. Obviously I need to get a different SD card and reflash it. However the problem lies in that apparently HA stopped backing up to Google Drive over a year ago (seriously...) and also I don't have a backup on Nabu Casa (idk why I wouldn't...). Needless to say I'm pretty bummed and looking for guidance on the next steps to if any way possible save my configuration files. Thank you.

Connect a keyboard and monitor and show what it says during and after boot.

I just witnessed a miracle. I plugged the SSD into Windows, it said the drive had an issue and needed to be fixed (yeah right we've all heard that) but then it seemed good on the computer. Plugged it back into my pi and now all is good... A miracle! Already made a backup.

Note that windows can only see one partition and there's like 8 but glad it works for now.
