I hope that is only a temporary glitch.

Temporary work around.
1 Go to https://sites.google.com/site/ianbruntlett/
2. In the navigation sidebar, click on "Free Software"
3. Scroll down to "Linux Live CD/DVDs (technical stuff)" and you'll see
what I'm talking about :)

In case that doesn't work, the key live CD/DVDs that I would consider using
are:-
1. CAINE (an investigation tool) https://www.caine-live.net/
2. Hirens Boot CD (actually a DVD these days) https://www.hirensbootcd.org/
3. System Rescue CD http://www.system-rescue-cd.org/

I have used CAINE to rescue data from a Windows laptop's harddrive which
had been rendered unbootable because of a software problem.

If I was to be backing up a damaged SSD, I would definitely try using
ddrescue, possibly after having booted CAINE.

If you know of other rescue CDs/DVDs I should link to, let me know :)

HTH,


Ian
