If you still have guix in the store you can use the store path to
reach and run it.
As I had something similar today that there was no recent guix... I
actually restored with a slightly older 'guix pack' from a different
machine.

You have to use an older version that does not get overwritten by a
new Guix. Otherwise the update will fail dramatically. It happened to
me first time :)
Alternatively you can unpack the store part of the binary install and
use that. Again, make sure you are not reinstalling the exact same
version.
If you still have a working guix you should use 'guix archive'.
Many options.
