Thanks. However, the real problem here is that the backup disk is a 
NetBSD FFS2, which unfortunately does a much more thorough job when 
deleting files/directories. Namely, it literally erases all metadata 
regarding the stuff, so, although the file data blocks are still 
physically on the disk, I can't even determine which ones used to belong 
to one file, not to mention file names and directory structure. It would 
be quite an interesting job restoring this into a valid RDB backup 
directory containing a few hundred thousand files...
