Yes.

You get out your backup tapes/disks/whatever, and restore them.  :P

What's that?  You've not backed up?  Silly you.  Well, that gets just
a little bit more complicated.  I assume that you're talking about
Linux.

Well, you *could* go through the disk, and edit the filesystem.  :)
But this probably not what you're after.  :)  There is /planned/
support to undelete files under ext2fs in some later version (look at
the manpage for |chattr|) but currently there is no official support
for such an operation---if you deleted a file, then there is nothing
you can do, unless you're a unix Guru.

Afaik.
