I was putting some files on my sd card I ejected it properly put in back in my switch and injected the payload and got NOFAT FS error 13 and then when I pit the sd card back into Windows it says its not recognised file format and want me to format the sd card.

I've got 60 games and a load of saves on here that I have not backed up is this salvageable?

SD card corruption, more than likely. You were probably using exFAT. Not sure if you can save your saves, but as a rule for next time, use FAT32 for your SD card, and don't eject and insert your SD card for no good reasons. The SD card port is flaky and could break if you do it too often. Use Hekate USB transfer for all kind of files, and use DBI USB install for installing your games of any size. I can't remember when was the last time I actually pulled out my SD card. DBI can also backup your saves, while you're at it.
