[REINSTALLED FRESH] I broke my partitions AND grub with sgdisk -e /dev/sda* - any way to fix this?

Some errors appeared - no backup files were created.

Cheers,

Backup files were definitely created, look in
/notshrcompr/bkpcrit---pve-root

Fix:
mkdir -pv /root/bin/boojum

Put the BKPDEST.mrg file there ^^ and edit it to define the mount point for your backups.

You can edit /root/bin/getdrive-byids and fix it for your environment, that file is in the root of the ansitest repo / .zip file that you can download

The rest of the errors don't matter that much, I have some custom files that get created in /etc/rc.local

I just uploaded rc.local to the repo for convenience; if you want to re-download the .zip it will fix most of the errors if you copy it to /etc

/ That's the problem with a customized system, it gets a little difficult to share with the world ;-)
