My external hard drive is my time machine back up and also well my main memory storage for about 6000 photographs which I really , really cannot lose. Only my mac isn't reading it. the hd is visible on in disk utilitys which does not want to repair it, all attempts amount to the following response.

Verifying volume “Time Machine Backups”
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Detected a case-sensitive catalog.
Invalid B-tree node size
Volume check failed.
Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.

any suggestions please? any advice would be much appreciated
