Help! Restore needed without .Storage folder

I have lost the whole of my Home assistant setup due to a stupid mistake and loosing the folder as it was mounted somewhere I can’t recover.

I have one backup file but it doesn’t seem to contain the .storage folder. I have extracted all the tar.gz file back. I have almost everything in there, configuration.yaml, nose-red folders etc.

But when I start up home assistant it’s like a new install. It refinds everything on my network and they all need configuring. When I go into node-red i don’t get my project

Any help please?

AFAIK, there is no way to recover that folder if you don’t have it stored somewhere you have access to.
