That's very tedious to do. You could find all unreferenced blocks with
some work. But the only thing that you will get from that is just a dump
of blocks. And it is nearly impossible to make something out of that,
considering that there will always be block fragmentation in variable
data.

BTW. I just looked up their site, and it says "Provides recovery of
*deleted file(s)* for *Ext2* File system only." (emphasis added)
