Mac Os App Disk Directory File Management

Hey guys!

Mac os file structure


So before I begin, I have a Mid 2011 Macbook Pro 15 inch, 16gb of RAM, and Yosemite 10.10.2 installed on my system.

Lex uses a MacBook Pro, an iPhone 5, an iPad mini, a Kindle 3, a TiVo HD, and a treadmill desk, and loves them all. His latest book, a children's book parody for adults, is called 'The Kid in the.

I think my Macbook Pro's hardrive is giving up the ghost. Anytime I try to boot it up, it the loading bar fills to about the 1/4 mark and then the computer completely shuts down. I tried repairing the disk in recovery mode, but I get an error that simply states that the hardrive cannot be repaired and that I should back up as many files as I can. I even attempted to use the /fsck/ command in Single User mode to repair my disk, but it just gave me a disk I/O error. All of my research on the problem has pretty much lead to the conclusion that my hard drive is on it's last legs.

Because I am an absolute idiot, I have never activated Time Machine, and therefor, I have no backup of any of my files, and I don't see anyway to create a backup in recovery mode. That being said, I see that I can access Terminal from Recovery mode. Is there any way to use Terminal to back up my files to an external drive? Or am I completely screwed?
