No, that wouldn't work; you'd have to scan the disk for partition information to reconstruct it, or otherwise guess reasonable values (backup being best).

Which does not seem like a particularly difficult task for me. Not quite trivial, not particularly quick, not guaranteed to work 100%, but for main partition types the task should be suitable as an undergraduate CS assignment.
However, as you say, having data backed up is a better solution.
