Hi Julien
Sorry to hear that.
I had a RAID failure earlier in the year and had to buy a 1TB USB HDD to

back up my entire /home from the remaining two drives, then reformat the

RAID and copy everything back from the external drive. After building

the RAID again, at one point I thought I'd accidentally deleted

everything from the external drive, losing six years' music, photos,

everything. Fortunately I hadn't, I'd just confused myself, but it was a

horrible sinking feeling like nothing I've ever felt before. Yours won't

be as bad, but still very frustrating and annoying, so I sympathise.
Sorry, I can't actually help with the recovery, but just advice from

personal experience. I used to back-up by copying Ardour project

folders, which at many, many GBs a time just for changes to the Ardour

file was really insane (and why I'd almost run out of space).
Here's the advice: get yourself an external drive -- large ones are

pretty cheap these days -- and use something like rsync to do

incremental back-ups and get into the habit of backing up every day

after you've been recording or mixing. I use luckyBackup which is a nice

GUI frontend for rsync and it's very powerful.
Best of luck with the recovery
