You are running ancient, unsupported, software on hardware that has a
lifetime which you've probably also exceeded and are not actively testing
backups. Its is unlikely you are going to get a positive result without
finally spending some time and money by hiring a specialist. Or, just
consider the lost data as an expected outcome given previous behaviors and
move forward. Or, at minimum, someone who can sit/login to the computer
and network setup in question and interact with it - even if they cannot do
the disk data recovery they can at least provide a professional opinion.
