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. https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/news/creating-bundles-with-guix-pack.html 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. Pj.
