Live USB stick, boot, copy everything from the 'broken' install to a second USB stick, reinstall, restore.

Or, if you really want to get into the weeds, try to re-install systemd. As a learning exercise.

This is a great question on a job interview though. "What happens on a Debian machine if you 'apt remove systemd'?"
