After attempting to boot multiple times the machine continues to cycle to a black screen after displaying the Ubuntu load screen. This happened after installing some apps and updates. I would be happy to reinstall, but have 280+ GB's of photo's and video renderings that I cannot lose. Has anyone found a solution to this sort of problem?
I have tried running boot repair from install drive however still encountering same issue. Boot-repair diagnostics and link below.
After running boot repair in demo mode on install drive: PasteBin Link

Error: Both the primary and backup GPT tables are corrupt. Try making a fresh table, and using Parted's rescue feature to recover partitions.
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?

Recommended repair: ____________________________________________________________
The default repair of the Boot-Repair utility will reinstall the grub-efi of
sda3,
using the following options: sda2/boot/efi
Additional repair will be performed: unhide-bootmenu-10s use-standard-efi-file restore-efi-backups
/boot/efi added in sda3/fstab
rm /mnt/boot-sav/sda2/efi/Boot/bootx64.efi
mv /mnt/boot-sav/sda2/efi/Boot/bkpbootx64.efi /mnt/boot-sav/sda2/efi/Boot/bootx64.efi
Mount sda2 on /media/ubuntu/456dedaa-480c-4b23-ae0d-4807b0ac6eff/boot/efi
