My data disk HDD failed. Luckly I have a backup! Turns out I don't have the emergency recovery kit. What are my options? I haven't tried booting just the SSD with the rest of home assistant yet.

Depends how failed the disk is. If you can still mount it and read some data here are the paths to the key: https://gist.github.com/Impact123/e9a4a07b184eb393d2ff762e3b1b0a05#grab-backup-key
If not you are kind of out of luck.

catastrophic failure unfortunately, the read heads crashed and now it just ticks. I do not have access to the new data disk on the separate HDD. I do still have access to the old data disk files that is stored on the original SDD that the boot files are on. When I moved data disks it was pre 2025.1 looking through those files
/mnt/data/supervisor/homeassistant/.storage/backup
Does not exist just a lot of tmp(random string) files in /.storage

Don't look specifically for /mnt/data/supervisor/ as that depends on the mount options but for .storage/backup.
If your backups were encrypted and this file containing the key is nowhere to be found you can't really do much, I'm afraid.
Not a fan of data disks. Makes things needlessly complicated.

I'll take a look through the boot SSD again and maybe there is a trace of the key somewhere I thought I wrote down the key in my bitwarden vault but apparently not. Maybe I have a copy in my Google drive where I used to use as a backup location
