I have a perl script from 2005 that could do this - but only for pure r/w volumes. If there's a backup or readonly clone on the same partition, it will probably fail miserably. It's not polished, may have to be adapted to current perl versions etc. And I think it recovered nothing but the file content and the path, not mode/owner/ACLs... Setting up a server is certainly the better option and may well be easier and faster. But if you're desperate enough, let me know.
