Hello,
I'm have a big problem with my Proxmox VE server. I'm on the brink of giving up. Usually, I'm a silent reader in forums, but I've reached my limit.
Prolog:
I use the server privately for various services like an email server or Matrix for the family, among other applications. Currently, I don't have an external backup, but I want to avoid data loss.
System Information:
One Crucial SSD failed last week. I replaced it and rebooted the server without issues. During the initialization of the new disk, I restarted the server, which then failed to boot. The error message was: "error: invalid arch-independent ELF magic."
A "Linux expert friend" suggested testing the following in the Debian Live System:
I found this on the Proxmox Wiki page: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Recover_From_Grub_Failure
I couldn't execute
After restarting the server, Proxmox's Grub started again, but the system didn't boot up. The message was:
Error: Symbol 'grub_device?UYD??h$gtvv' not found
loading Linux 5.15.104.1.pve
error incompatible license.
Press any key to continue…
Does anyone have a solution and can help?

sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/RESCUE/boot due to a "can't read superblock on /dev/sda1" error. We noticed that the /boot/ folder was already filled with image data, so we proceeded.After restarting the server, Proxmox's Grub started again, but the system didn't boot up. The message was:
