Hopefully, not the sort of "backup" as mis-used in the sentence :-

"I moved all my critical work files off my main machine onto my
external backup drive, which has now fallen off the desk and is
making grinding noises. How do I recover my backup?"

Key word that gives me chills: "moved". Uh oh.

Did you mean copied?

"No, moved, to make space" ...

(Uh oh)^2 ...
