So to you, and to everyone else who is considering to reply to this topic, please consider before posting what your message adds to the discussion.

421 Home directory not available - aborting

But to answer your question in short: no, your files are currently unreachable, so there is no way to get a backup.
Please carefully read the announcement:
It’s a DDoS attack. We have no control about when it’s over. It could be an hour, a day or a week. The attack stops when the attacker stops attacking.
