For satellite backup you need a ground based system. One CME and the satellite constellations are gone. The backup needs to be of an entirely different type and Loran C was there at no additional cost. Loran C went the way of megs field. Out of service and demolished quickly so no second chance. A procedure that is very suspicious. Then we "almost" lost GPS to light

  Nah, the best backups are Glonass and Galileo, with BeiDou coming along. 
There are a lot of boxes out now that do GPs (navstar is the proper name of the 
sat part) AND GLONASS (Russian equivalent) and some that do Galileo ( EU)

Too bad they took Loran down. Loran C was the best possible backup for GPS.
