My Passport Ultra 1TB Crash

After installing the recent Security Update to Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6, one of my external drives (used for Time Machine Backup and archiving; not bootable) has crashed. It will not mount, but I can see the drive in DIsk Utlity (ran DFA/no help) and in Terminal. I then launched Single-User mode and ran FSCK. Attached shows FSCK results. Is there anyway to repair the drive, based on the findings? I really just need the archived folder and am waiting on my DiskWarrior upgrade that will hopefully help. Hoping I can fix the invalid directory issues…

Any help appreciated, or direction to another forum that may help… Thank you!

DiskWarrior repaired the drive and allowed me to retrieve files. It seems that when TM maxed out the disk space, it corrupted the drive.
