@keirFox Hmm, two things that might help in the future: Using "REISUB" with the Magic SysRq key will pretty universally safely shut down even "hard frozen" systems unless there's literally a Kernel panic. Hold Alt, and, holding it the whole time, press Print Screen (screenshot on some keyboards, or my laptop keyboard actually sneakily offers SysRq with function+s), then slowly type r-e-i-s-u-b one character at a time and your screen should go black and then reboot after the b (you can repeat it if it doesn't seem to work the first time) And, it might be worth it to look into some incremental backup thing like Borg backup so it's easier to restore files in the future? https://www.borgbackup.org/ It works by only storing the changes that occurred between backups in files, so you could make a new backup every hour if you wanted and it'd barely increase the storage at all, only storing the differences (rather than storing whole copies of every file every time like manual backups or some backup software). So you still have access old versions and can go back as far as necessary to find the uncorrupted copy
