Yes. If you know it's XFS, it's more easy and less error-prone to do
what Miklos did - just use xfs_repair which seeks for superblock backups
automagically - a far less error-prone approach (i repeat: kids, don't
do this at home^W^W on your original data, always use copies for
recovery attempts).

However, since that didn't succeed, which can have multiple reasons, I
suggested other ways to find out whether the mapping (i.e. key) is good
or not.
