You dont *need* to get the VM to boot to get at the data. All the private data in a template based VM is stored in the private.img. You can get at the data just by mounting the private.img, and looking in /home. If I were you I would attach a backup drive, and copy off the files from /var/lib/qubes/appvms. I would do this in preference to using qvm-backup, (although once done you can try the backup route also.) First secure the data. Then try to get the systems running - or dont bother, and just reinstall from scratch. If you haven't tried the backup just mount your backup medium in a qube, mount the private.img files and copy the data cross to your newly created qubes. But get the data off the system first.
