    Restore from your last backup and then recover to point-in-time by using the redo logs. Commented Sep 16, 2016 at 12:32

    Good luck restoring the database. Unfortunately the best thing to revert rm is backup. There is a reason why backup is so advised. Commented Sep 16, 2016 at 13:03

    I am sorry for you, but you have almost no chances to restore it. Commented Sep 16, 2016 at 14:11

Firstly stop using the drive because any changes to the file system will make it harder to recover.

Secondly take a copy of the entire drive using dd or other tools to copy the raw drive to a clean disk.

Next you will need to look at various ext3/4 undeletion tools, always working with the cloned drive never the original. The tools that I know of are:

Next options are:

  • Send the drive off for data recovery
  • Look at file carving tools such as photoreq (from the testdisk package)
  • Accept the loss of data and rebuild with backups as part of the planning process
