There's your ext4 superblock. Use "gdisk /dev/md0" and create a partition starting at sector 2048 and occupying the rest of the array. After you save that, you may need "partprobe /dev/md0" to rescan it. You'll probably end up with a device named something like /dev/md0p1. The output of dmesg will likely show you the device name. Use "fsck -n /dev/md0p1" to verify the filesystem, and if that has relatively few errors, you may mount it and start making backups.
