Yeah, i did had an full backup of /dev/sdc1 one day old. Restoring was no problem.
The problem is that i don't have any backup from /dev/sdc2. Only 10-20 GB on DVD's

I have an slower server which serve's the clients, so i can try to get the rest
of the data.
Are there any other working repair tools for xfs ?
