Undelete or recover from disk

J

I seemed to have lost some critical dump files during a restore. The directory in which they were backed up in seemed to vaporize. The data was present as indicated by df -h but the directory was not listed.
fsck on the disk was ineffective
fsck_ffs produced an extensive listing of bad block, a final SALVAGE option, but on completion, the disk "capacity" from the df -h was significantly reduced.

Is there anyway of recovering even 'partial' data from these lost blocks? The drive has been disconnected so that there would be no 'write' activities?

Thanks

Good question, I don't know. Was doing the 'restore' and apparently hanged or was hanging. Aborted run, ^c followed by exit (was using Fixit). On next attempt the directory with the dump files were missing.

TY! I do have this on my PC will give it a try, always thought that the UFS file system would have impaired these PC based type programs.
