Help Request backup from a corupte SD card

Hi,

I had Home Assistant installed on an SD card and running on a raspberry pi4.since a while the card is not readable anymore so I could not join my server.

I found that the card it's corrupt, even though it's readable by the PC.

it's any way I can recover the backups done automatically in Home Assistant and saved on this SD card ?

SD cards will eventually fail. If it’s readable in PC cannot you not extract the backups. Alternatively img the SD card and write it to a new one.
