Is there any way to enable Time Machine / tmutil and perform a backup from inside the Single User Mode?
I have a Late '11 Radeongate-affected MBP that won't boot beyond the gray boot screen anymore, and I'm about a week's worth of data from my latest backup.

Problem resolved:
(You will need another mac with a Thunderbolt port to make this work. We'll call the problematic one A and the other one B)
I eventually went out and got a new MBP (which I was planning to do anyway) and migrated directly from the time machine latest backup.
